My bigger questions are 1. How long does it take to recharge a battery? 2. How long do the batteries last before needing to be replaced? How much does it cost to replace them?

I looked at a Nissan Leaf for my grandson (high school 10 mile round trip daily commute) but while they’re dirt cheap due to battery deterioration, a new battery would be way too much dough. Went with an old Saturn from Florida owned by a grandma.

“2. How long do the batteries last before needing to be replaced?”

My friend who owned a 2014 Model S was still getting 80% charge when he traded it in on a new model last year. Replacement would be in the $5,000 to $7,000 range. Don’t fall for the “$22,000” story that’s floating around, that is in Finland and must be from taxes.
