It's even more profitable if you have an electric car. *Saves me an

Do you have any idea how long the batteries last before they need replacement?

What would that cost?

They quietly fade away like most batteries.
With normal use they lose around 20% of capacity in ten years.
Apparently.
They are expensive to replace right now but UG at the moment.
In the future hopefully they will be cheaper when EVs are more common
