Battery life, depending on the make/ model/ use etc is projected to be anywhere between 185,000 - 500,000 miles.
Cost of replacing a battery can be anywhere between £9K - 20K
So suddenly those cheap second hand EV's don't look so attractive.
That said, in the great scheme of things, it's not a million miles away from the kind of decisions you have to make with the economic life of liquid fuelled cars.
