“Ultimately, the replacement of an electric car every five years with a new model, from the point of view of cumulative CO2 emissions and based on our calculations and simulations, will result in more CO2 emissions than the consistent use of an old combustion car for the remainder of the vehicle life cycle.” HaHaHaHa snork, gasp, HaHaHaHa!!!

Electricity costs in the uk are going to be upwards of 40p a Kwh by October, or 50c.

Buying a £5000 car that needs a new battery for along with prices like that is utter shit.

I'd buy a tesla if I had a way to power it off grid. If I had 100k to piss away on a car I wouldn't give a fuck about fuel prices either though.

But then

in 2019, the cost of an out-of-warranty 100 kWh battery, as is common in Tesla long range vehicles, would be at least $16,100 before labor, taxes

In 2016, BMW reported that replacing an i3 battery would cost about $16,000.

a dealership quoted a Chevy Bolt owner in November 2018 $16,250 for a battery replacement, with $870 for labor.

According to a post in the MyNissanLeaf.com forum, as of Jan 30, 2020, the cost of labor and replacement of a 24 kWh battery in a Nissan Leaf is $5,500. It appears the battery itself would cost $4,500

A replacement battery for a 2017 to 2018 VW e-Golf is quoted as $23,442.91

Like I said. Better to just buy a new one and drive it properly than risk 2nd hand.

I dunno where the fuck you got the 2k price for a battery from.

Apparently you haven't heard of the Prius Plug-in, the Prius Prime, or the RAV4 Prime. Some of them are a decade old.
