Nissan Leaf battery is currently circa £5k to replace. The warranty covering the Nissan Leaf battery is 96 months or 100,000 miles and they estimate 10 years expected lifespan .. I don't know the lifespan of other batteries, but currently looks to me that these EVs are going to be worthless and scrap after a few years second hand.
I'd be interested to see the numbers (financial and green) for keeping and old ICE car running vs EVs. Although I guess the future will bring more innovative battery solutions.
