In the EU it would be about 7 000 hours of driving so more like three years, or more.

What kind of vehicle is it though? There are battery electric vehicles available now in almost all commercial vehicle segments in Europe.

7000 hours at 60 MPH (i.e. 100 kph) is ~700,000 km. That's assuming highway speeds, obviously, but if you're doing stop and go in a diesel truck you should probably sell it to someone who isn't and be among the first to get an electric one because the difference in fuel costs is so dramatic in that case.
