To say that this article is misleading is not enough. This article appears to be deliberately deceptive. Nissan Leafs are specifically known to have battery problems such that they lose a large percentage of their storage after a few years. The reason the batteries need to be recycled for other uses is because they keep having to be replaced, and they need to do something with the old batteries that are no longer useful for cars. Sure the battery might outlive the car, doing something else. Meanwhile, the car will need several battery replacements.

- twblalock 7y agoReasons to lease an electric car rather than buy: the batteries degrade over time, and even if they did not people would believe they did. A friend of mine recently bought a Nissan Leaf with low miles on it for $9k. It was less than 5 years old and it cost more than $30k new. The original owner lost way more money on resale than he ever would have spent on a gas car in 5 years, including paying for the gas.
