> can I run it until it's done 150,000km I'm not sure I get your question. My Mach-e will have 1000-1500 charge cycles before the battery drops to 80% capacity. On a full charge of normal use I'll get 250+ miles, so that's 250,000 to 375,000 miles.

But that's a little hard to pin down, because with good charge cycles (e.g. not going all the way to 100% each charge), it should last longer.

An EV has less moving parts, so it isn't as likely to shake itself apart like a combustion engine car.

A new BYD, that's probably a different question about the manufacturer and if their build quality will hold up over time.
