[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2580337, member: 63925"] Exactly, in Europe they have an End of Life Vehicle (ELV) program in which the manufacturer has to take the vehicle back. That is one aspect. There needs to be a replacement battery program that is no more than the initial cost if the battery as it was in OEM build. There must be a guarantee life span of the battery that is fully documented and disclosed in vehicle documentation which us separate from the vehicle warranty. The guarantee of the battery must be based upon REAL WORLD expected charging duty cycles and some 🐂💩 duty cycle for someone living in a large city driving short distances. The battery replacement must be available through a duty cycle life span past the accepted warranty of the vehicle. Until we get this, buying an EV for any extended time frame is like buying a Communist cardboard car IMO. [/QUOTE]
