GM to dump Holden

[ElwoodBlues1]

The cost of batteries must have skyrocketed since 2017 -

Or someone is telling porkies  . In fact, the price of EV batteries has plummeted recently.

Back on Jeeps, a punter was quoted $15,000 for six injectors (plus labour) by a dealer in the western suburbs.  They are available from Mopar for $156 a pop.  That is a sale price, reduced from $237.  I imagine that’s US dollars.

It seems that the dealer took the list price and added some zeroes  :

Mate who sent me the story sent me this after I questioned the price.

Think I'll believe the Lennock Motors invoice from the ACT in that video over that price of $5499 which was quoted by a journo from Rhode Island, maybe he drives a Nissan for free...

And this:Data collected by Nissan indicates that a LEAF battery should last as long as 22 years, according to Francisco Carranza, Managing Director of Renault-Nissan Energy Services. Nissan monitors various parameters, including charging patterns and battery degradation, on the over 400,000 LEAFs it has sold in Europe since 2011.

And battery warranty is 5-6 years?.....might last 22 years, doesnt mean it will hold any charge though...
