Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

None of the new electric cars are planning to use old-tech lead acid batteries. But that cost in a built as an EV is much less than an ICE’s costs by about 1/2. In most conversions cost is about the same because of needless weight. Current batteries in new Toyota hybridsare ~$3000 if they need to be replaced.
