- zihotki 3y agoThat's until you see the price of replacing a battery
- neilalexander 3y agoThere's plenty of data now from Nissan, Tesla and others showing that 10 year old EVs still often have at least 80% of their original battery capacity. Needing to replace the battery is not a given.
- mmikeff 3y agoRight now, looking at buying a used EV, I am more scared that the battery or electrics fail for some reason than I am of their gradual degradation over time. I don't know how likely that is, but it's putting me off anything other than manufacturer approved used with a solid warranty.
