That is an absolutely butchered version of the article title.

On the page the title is:

> Rivian and VW's new $22,500 car proves cheap EVs don't have to be low-tech, the Tesla rival's software boss says

Or using the HTML <title> tag:

I wonder how many healthy (>=~70% capacity) miles the batteries in these cheap EVs will do. Hopefully it's at least 100k, in order to compete with combustion engines?

At least in the U.S., EV batteries have to be warrantied for 8 years or 100,000 miles.
