    yup that was the one! and it wasnt even that old. which is why i’m confused, it seemed good enough.

    japan seemed to me like one of the places where great EVs would consistently be coming from.

      What about the batteries, though? How would Japan source those? All-in into aluminium-air?

        The good thing about modern batteries is that in a decade after they are new and are down to 80% capacity, if that’s not enough for you and you want to keep the car, a new battery will be cheaper and/or better

        Leaf owners got twice the range from new batteries compared to the car when it was new
