[QUOTE="olympic, post: 16369972, member: 168598"] I run Toyota Prius's in my business and the batteries last 250,000km (150k miles) max. At that point I usually spend the $3500 for a new battery pack because I can run the car up to 500,000k km before it reaches 10 years old. But to the average person, the car would be scrap at 250k km. I don't have any experience with lithium batteries used in Teslas but I have extreme doubts they will last 300,000 miles and 15 years. The batteries in Teslas cost way more than a Prius battery so most certainly a dead battery = car is scrap. I know someone is going to link to examples of EV batteries lasting 300k but those are commercial vehicles running up and down the highway 24/7 in warm climates. Take a more average use situation where the car runs 12-20k/year and sits outside in sub-freezing weather all winter and the battery life will plummet. [/QUOTE]
