    $23 grand for a battery plus the cost of the car? I don’t think they would have spent more on gas and maintenance.

      I love how you’ve added the capital expense with the operating expenses on only one side of the equation but not the other. You know we can see that, right?

            No, I’m comparing two used cars to the cost of an EV battery replacement. Also, I was generously rounding up the cost of the two cars. My total was actually $12,200. $9k for a 2006 Subaru Forester and $3,200 for a 1992 Miata.
