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

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


Treat them? Leave it in the garage on charge but never driven to get the
10 year warranty? And is the warranty free replacement or a proportional
cost according to age?

Tesla, for example, won't do a warranty replacement if the car is unused
and not on charge for a few weeks - like say left at an airport carpark
while on holiday.
