Has a garage told you it needs replacing ? If so, have they said why it needs replacing ? If it's your own idea, then why do you want to replace it ?

Unless there's a split in the hose(s) or the connections have worn and aren't sealing correctly, there's absolutely no need to replace them.

What makes you want to replace them anyways ?

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.
