I’m not opposed to electric vehicles. When the price comes down and their reliability is proven I might consider one. Then again I probably only have maybe two new cars in my future so I doubt either of them will be electric.
A million miles on an ICE is possible with good maintenance and especially if it is a diesel because the fuel is also a lubricant. But, a million miles is an unusual outlier......... something to be congratulated!
