[QUOTE="essexpete, post: 6741319, member: 553"] A high mileage EV may not be without severe depreciation penalties with battery costs and rapid obsolescence? A good friend has a Tesla 3 performance with extended range. He spends a lot of time behind the wheel and has been, on the whole, very pleased with the deal and subsequent use. He travels some distance on occasion but with fast charge in services and some shops range has never been an issue. One hotel this week he topped up without charge. He is employed but found the tax angle better providing his own car. He gets quite handsome mileage. He did the maths against his previous car, a hybrid Lexus, and decided the EV was a no brainer. The Lexus took a real hiding depreciation wise and was not amazingly economical. He has opted to lease the Tesla over 3 years and has costed under the purchase of the hybrid even taking in to account a one off deposit payment. He will hand the car back at the end of the contract. The main reason for leasing was to avoid aging batteries (guaranteed for 120k miles iirr) and technology moving on. The Tesla 3 will not be to everyone's taste but it has super car performance at the price of top end mainstream. Although his model is 4wd, I doubt it will be very handy on a farm track as it is quite low. [/QUOTE]
