In 15 years / 300,000 miles when the battery might need replacement, the pack (not cell) price for batteries will probably be around $50/kWh, or $5,000 for 100 kWh. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/average-b

Yes, you can safely ignore any article about the U.S. EV depreciation where it doesn't mention subsidies, etc.. I recently purchased a 2025 Nissan Leaf and got 42% off the MSRP. So the first 42% depreciation doesn't have an effe

How is that a nitpick? Seems like Graphene is for those who want to have finer-grained control of what Google tracks. You are still funding Google through a hardware purchase (Pixel phone). You are still using Android. And it seems to b

Cross my fingers, but I think my Nissan Leafs aren't "connected" enough to ever have to worry about ads. Certainly not during charging, when you just walk inside the house.

For the modestly priced vehicles, the $7,500 tax credit is a huge contributor to depreciation that people seem to overlook. When I purchased a Nissan Leaf back in 2022, the sticker price was like $28,000, and the price after the $7,500 re
