I have a friend who just leased a Leaf. The batteries have a 100,000 mile warranty. He was told by someone at the Nissan dealership that the battery pack replacement cost was between $30,000 to $35,000. A 110 home charge takes about 16-18 hours to fully charge the battery pack. At his work a 220 takes around 7-8 hours. There was a additional charge for the special adapter for the ‘quick charge’ that allows for a 20-25 minute full battery pack charge. His Leaf lease was based on a price of $39,000. He didn’t tell me if that was before or after incentives.
What, it takes 20-30 minutes to re-charge at a “filling station”?
Let me see, let’s assume there are 5 cars in line (I’m last), it takes (using round numbers) 20 minutes/car so that’s 5 x 20 = 100 minutes or 1 hour and 20 minutes before my car gets re-charged. WOW! I would have to leave home two days before I need to get somewhere just so I could get my car batteries re-charge. Now that is some REAL change (once again, the American public has been duped).
Can you imagine the lines in California as people wait to get the electric cars re-charged? INSANE!!!!!!!
