... 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..
most car losses are tyre rolling resistance and air resistance. Neither
of which I would describe as friction, though that;s more a matter of
precise definition.

Hysteresis
I-Meiv is fitted with low rolling resistance tyres.

Golly. Harry got something right!
Almost anyway
