    Most are not six or $7k. In fact very few are. Just in this thread is a person who had to spend $9k to replace the battery on their 2017 Leaf. A subcompact with a meager 100 mile range, if it isn’t too cold outside.

      So it’s not $15k. Glad we established that.

      100 miles is a lot for most people. Do you drive more than that in a day?

        Lol. Nah, bro. It’s $15k for an EV that can replace the average persons ice. A Nissan Leaf can’t do that.
