... 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

Well it does say range 93 miles, but how expensive is that to run
compared to petrol?..

It gives a consumption figure that looks like miles per watt hour which
doesn't seem right?..

Mind you if thats 28 K to buy then thats all rather academic..

A lot of the energy expended (potential, kinetic) is recovered by
regeneration.
Only frictional losses can't be recovered.

Yes regen , been used on the tube railway since god knows when, isn't
that much of a factor..

It is in electric cars.. The battery is only 17Kwh, Pretty
insignificanr really.
Electric trains don't have hills to climb and descend. Not significant
ones anyway. Niether do they run in traffic.
