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.


Hrump!, The car under discussion wouldn't get me to the main Two London
airports and its very marginal if it could do a return trip to the
nearest one!..
