I guess it’s still an interesting question. If you set aside the inherent obsolescence of these EV’s. Those batteries are only good for like 10 years before you have to put $20,000USD into a new set.

But say you get 300 miles out of a charge, how much are they paying for a full charge? So I guess that’s Miles Per Kwh? I imagine that a big heavy F150 gets less Mpkw than a tiny smartcar weighs maybe 200lbs.

“Those batteries are only good for like 10 years before you have to put $20,000USD into a new set.”

absolutely false on both accounts.

At 12k miles per year the Tesla battery will still have over 90% capacity.

Usually they can be refurbished for much less than $20k.
