I can charge my Leaf at home for roughly $3 and that is good for 70 miles of driving. That is roughly the same as a car that gets 100 mpg with $5 per gallon gas. Electric cars have very low maintenance costs so that adds to the savings. I've owned my Leaf for 5 years and haven't had to spend any money on maintenance other than buying a new cabin air filter at 35K miles.
Have any aftermarket suppliers come up with a Lithium battery replacement for the original Leaf battery?
I don't know, I've never looked into it. Our Leaf is 8 years old and the battery still has about 90% capacity so I'm not worried about replacing it.
You are off on something, if it has 90% battery left you have more than a 10 mile radius range.
If you only have a 10 mile radius range, you do not have 90% capacity left.
So which is it?
