What concerns me most is maintainability. The NYT article states that
the battery costs $12000. That is a big chunk of change down the road
a few miles. I've never owned anything with a rechargeable battery,
where the first few months weren't the best of the experience, with a
death spiral from there. So what becomes of the electric car with a
dead battery? What is your trade in or resale value of a car with the
electric equivalent of a blown engine.
