Hence why I said "according to Tesla" because I have no other proof except for their marketing blub.Have Tesla tested the motors for a million miles? If so how. 1hrs running of an ICE on a dyno is equivalent to 50 miles. That's 20000 hrs or 833 days, possible but plausible?
But EV drivetrain on all current cars are warrantied for 8 years. Whereas no ICE get this level of warranty. Does that tell us something regarding manufacturer's confidence in its reliability?
Thanks for correcting my bad spelling.It doesn't even show my statement is unfounded, let alone unfunded.
You stated that deals on Leafs were similar to similar sized ice cars. You have only provided outdated figures for a Leaf. Where are the figures for ICE vehicles from the same time period? The current figures I have provided though actually prove my statement to be correct, the original Leaf owner won't get any cost benefit from buying the Leaf over a similar sized ice car.
Let's look back:
This statement came out of nowhere in reply to my post on something else.
When presented with a source of possible truth that is different to your statement:The original owner of your car probably never saw those benefits.
You then moved the goalpost by using today's prices for comparisonBack in 2015-2017, you can get a Nissan Leaf on lease for £199. Just search on hotukdeals.
Can't find any current hot UK deals for Nissan Leaf but using Google I found quotes for a Leaf at £2995 deposit and £333 a month to lease
With regard to today's comparison. I've done Kia Niro price comparisons here waaaay before your comparison between different cars:
Over 3 years 30k miles,
e-Niro is £2100 more expensive in finance payments. But fuel cost is £650 => £2750
Niro fuel cost would be £3000 to cover same distance
Therefore, ownership cost of e-Niro is cheaper than similar spec Niro. Despite the EV is slightly more expensive to buy, you end up paying less to drive the EV.
It does indeed feel like groundhog day here.
