| There is o evidence the typical EV will need a battery replacement within its useful life. The Leaf is the only EV with that problem, everyone else so far seems to be doing well as a battery is a lifetime part. Only time will tell, but that is what our current data says. I'm sure there will be exceptions but they are collectors who keep a car for 100 years. |
