Do you also set aside money to buy a new engine for your car every few years?

Apples and oranges. Combustion engines have a lot more moving parts than a battery, and inherently need more maintenance, but not usually wholesale replacement. Plus, with that statement equating a battery with an engine, you are implying that I'm going to replace an engine every 5 years. How often does that happen to anyone? Rechargable batteries/battery packs wear out faster than engines, especially in electric cars where the engines have fewer movable parts. And I keep cars a long time, the hybrid was a 2003 and i just got rid of it last year after an accident and the other 2 cars are a 2002 and 2003. Never had to replace a whole engine in any of them.
