If the batteries last 8 years and cost 15000, when the battery pack dies you need a new battery pack, right? 15000 for a new battery pack for an 8 year old car with 8 year old technology or 15000 for a brand new car, which one to pick? 8 year old technology or a new car? I am down for going green and being environmentally friendly but 15000 every 8 years is kind of crazy. Knowing that the average person prolly won't save that extra 400 a month, they will probably spend it on something. so when the time comes to get that new battery pack, and you don't have any money, your kind of S.O.L. and stuck with a car that won't run until you find 15K somewhere!!
I guess a warranty would have to come with the batteries wouldn't it. So, say the car company warranties the batteries for 10 years, then all the problems go away and people will save money! |
