Chevy batteries have to be replaced every 18,000 miles. Cost: $ 24,000. Yeah, they got a real winner there...

Interesting. Wonder what the battery life is on the Leaf.

That’s not actually correct. They’re warrantying them for 10 years/150,000 miles. And the current price for the pack is, according to GM, “thousands less” than $10,000. (i.e., $7-8k). And 10+ years from now it should be notably less.

Still not chump change, mind you. You buy an expensive car, expect to maintain an expensive car.

And conspiracy theorists ask "Who Killed the Electric Car?"
