... and the batteries last how long and cost what to replace?

Andy C

Range is 83 miles. Batteries guaranteed for 5-10 years (Dependingon
how you treat them.). Replacement cost around £4,000

And then harry also wrote:

*On a good (sunny) day I could recharge it in one day from "empty". The
*battery is 16Kwh.

*The annual PV production last year was 4000Kwh,

*It uses average 135wh/Km.

Which is ~74 miles, not 83 miles

And then harry said

*You aren't good at arithmetic are you?

And I fell about laughing.

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.


Don't you know the meaning of average?
The figure is dependant on terrain, the way it is driven, AC on/off,
lights etc..
Try to keep up.
