I just looked at the total maintenance costs for my ICE vehicle (Honda
Odyssey 2000) and it is just under $20,000. Grant it, I take it on long
trips which I can't do with the Leaf but from a cost perspective, even
if I need to replace the battery every 6-7 years in my Leaf (and it will
likely be 10-12 years), I would come out probably about half that cost.
There are just too many things to go wrong with ICE vehicles. So far
I've spent $21 on the Leaf, for a tire repair.
And the $20K doesn't include fuel!
