20 years old and 200,000 miles used to be my starting point.
Before my leaf the newest car I ever bought was an 11 year old Toyota when I lived in japan. Over there 11 years is really, really old for a car.
My last car before the leaf is my 1989 firebird I got in 2016, with only 140,000 miles.
Hopefully electric cars can still be drivable as they hit 20 and 25 years, I expect supporting after market to pop up kind of like it has started to for the leaf.
