Canada's most populous provinces are falling behind many U.S. states when it comes to building fast charging stations for electric vehicles, a CBC News analysis shows, raising questions about whether this country's infrastructure is ready for a transition to cleaner energy.

But there's very low likelihood that a battery will need replacing within the first 20 years.

Tesla warranties their batteries for eight years or 100,000 to 150,000 miles, depending on the model -- and calculates that their vehicles get scrapped after approximately 200,000 miles of usage in the U.S. and roughly 150,000 miles in Europe.

It costs approx $20k to replace out of warranty batteries for a Tesla.

Your 20 yr mark is optimistic at best, especially in places like Canada where our weather ranges are currently -40C to +40C.
