I'd be drinking more if I owned a Nissan Leaf, story has come to my attention about a 2012 Leaf Owner who has been having battery problems. Been getting about 25k out of the battery with the heater on, so goes to his local Nissan Dealer who says his 5 year battery warranty has expired and he will need to pay for a new battery.
Ok he says and gets an invoice printed out, rubs his eyes, cleans the glasses but the figures and decimal points dont change, $33,000 installed if you dont mind :o
In the hands of consumer affairs now, original car was $53K new, think I'll be sticking to my petrol guzzling, air polluting vehicle until Nissan, Tesla etc and other EV makers can guarantee their batteries for a bit longer and have reasonably priced replacements..
