Re: Study: Here's the average cost of replacing batteries of popular EVs in the market I guess we are looking at replacing our usual mass -market EVs every 8 years (that's when the warranties on most of the batteries will expire). May work well for the afficionados but not for the rest of us who hold on to their vehicles longer. I have a 11 year old Honda City and I think I spend no more than 10,000 rupees on maintenance every year despite 1,25,000 kms on the odometer. Drove a Zen for close to 10 years and 100,000 kms before this and my dad's maruti 800 lasted 17 years and 2,50,000 kms before we sold it off to someone who wanted his kid to learn driving on a used car. |
