The way you're arguing, basically nothing really is for free because someone else out there has paid for the stuff you might have gotten without personally paying for them ... like gifts for example. Seriously man, have you not heard of context?
Lol... Hook line and sinker........
Do the math on that " cheap" electric.
The money you save on gasoline is going to shrink to nothing, after you have to replace the batteries --- and guarantee - you will --- right after the warranty runs out......
Go price what those batteries cost --- you will shit -- they are the largest percentage of the cost of the vehicle and only last a few years at best.
Google - what does it cost to replace the battery in a Nissan Leaf??
Answer $5500 plus installation...
At 2 bucks a gallon, 30 mpg that' s 80,000 + miles of driving a cheaper gas car.
Where' s the cheap in that electric????
Quote:It's dangerous to generalize on the battery life and durability of electric cars, because it varies significantly by vehicle. Early Chevrolet Volts, for example, have demonstrated little to no capacity degradation, including one that's now covered more than 300,000 miles.
