We talked to a young man this week who was driving a 16 passenger Van. When asked why not an electric or hybrid he said he researched it and the cost of the battery replacement was prohibitive. We said 5 years and the battery at 2 figures would need to be replaced.
When we talked to a person driving a pick-up that was electric with a 1.6 liter charging motor the fellow said 12 years , the former fellow admitted that 5 years was low-end when asked to comment on that. When asked if there was a residual value to used batteries he was not able to comment.
