"...so there's no real environmental or economic reason to repair the old ones"

The environmental benefit to EVs with long service lives is substantial vs. crushing one in a landfill six years after it rolls off the line. Manufacturers ought to aim for repairability and maintain supply of parts, especially if they are pursuing an eco business strategy.

Any “eco business” strategy is mere greenwashing of their real strategy: keep making money however they can. Not one manufacturer gives two shits about the environment, beyond how it directly impacts their bottom line. All EVs to date are a farce at being good for the environment by nearly any metric.
