Currently I can find a 2012 Nissan Leaf for $9K. I am not sure about the battery condition but assume it needs to be replaced for $5,500 with a 100K miles warranty
My electricity cost is 1 cent/kwh ( I am on a plan 1000-1500kwh for 1 cent per kwh) and battery cost is 5.5 cents per kwh
Total cost is say 7 cents/kwh. Assuming 5 miles per kwh, my current car goes 300 miles with 10 gallons so the cost is 300/5 X 0.07=$4.20 for full tank equivelant.
Operationally it makes financial sense but how is the maintenance of the car? other problems I wonder
So I pay 9K+tax for a car and filling up is 4 dollars?
Why is this so cheap? What am I missing here?
