I know someone with a decade old Leaf and that thing is still going strong with more than 300k on it.

    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
