Re: Batteries.
Just bought a lithium battery for my MacBook Pro for $78 ex China
including postage and my local Apple Store was $185 !
Its the same with Hybrid & Lithium EV /NMH batteries.
A Prius battery ex Toyota will put you back $10k while
the Chinese "will fit" costs $2800
If you travel say 20,000 kms P/A then an ICE equivalent
to a Corolla will cost you $3K P'A on petrol or half that on
a Corolla Hybrid and no stress about running out of battery .
If say the battery lasts 10 years, then you have saved $15,000 + interest
and at today's price, you can replace your battery for $2800 after 10 years !
"Starting off strong, the Toyota Corolla is one of the world's best-selling vehicles and delivers combined consumption at 7.5L/100km in the CE, SE and LE trims. The Corolla LE ECO CVT is, even more fuel-efficient, achieving 6.9L/100km.31 Jan 2023"
