@timaustin2000 Breaks is correct. The warranty clearly states that it does not cover battery degradation. The chances of it breaking down or running it to 0 capacity in 8 years/100,000mi are very slim.
-
@theclivesinclair then get a second car for your wife; let's face it, you'd probably be doing that anyway even if you had a regular car. The scenario you describe is not flexible or sustainable for a one-car household anyway.

@theclivesinclair Well I think hes trying to say that electric cars only work for 99% of the people 99% of the time.
-
What is the current length of warranty for the battery?
-
Why wouldn't someone fast charge every day?
Scenario..
I drive 35 miles to work, go to shops on way home (slightly out of my way) 40 miles. I have an elderly mother in hospital. And my wife starts shift work at 2100hrs.
I get home from work having done around 75miles around 1830hrs. I need to fast charge for my wife to use the Leaf.

Nissan LEAF: The Tour is Backby nissanusa4,065 views
Here's a point that I'm surprised the man from Nissan didn't make; the battery pack is under a 8 Year/100,000 mile warranty. If it breaks or runs down in that time then you'll not be paying for the replacement. At all.
Makes a mockery of the Top Gear argument.

Is the Leaf cross-subsidised? Traditionally you don't expect to make a short term profit out of new technology - I heard Amazon didn't make any money until the noughties and Toyota didn't turn a profit on the Prius for about ten years. Mega-corporations can afford to do this as they are planned economies - you don't always rely on the market to bring in new technology, sometimes you have to push it aggressively, particularly when long term changes are happening like oil prices or the environment
