Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

That’s not true at all. BMW batteries have an 8 year warranty. And we (I am a BMW dealer tech) have never had to replace one due to ageing. People are fearing something that doesn’t happen. Which is excellent for those of us that actually know, cheap used cars.
I'm in the tropics, if that makes any difference. These are not grey imports - they're dealership cars. Reports of pickup apparently dropping after the first 3 years etc. I'm not an owner, just know a couple.
