It'll be a function of total capacity, I think. A Tesla P85 could go all the way down to 30% of initial capacity and still be every bit as serviceable as the typical Leaf on the road today. Might be quite a problem for the person who bought the car new, but pretty much everybody driving a Leaf would be quite happy to swap it for a Tesla with the same range as the Leaf. And when it's not uncommon for EVs to have total ranges in the same 400 - 600 mile ballpark as ICEVs? A 600-mile car could lose a whopping 90% of its range capacity and still be perfect for anybody who today drives a Volt and never buys a drop of gasoline. b& -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
