That is simply wild speculation and insult with no basis in fact. This is my actual experience after 2 years and 60,000 km.  I paid $30,800 for a 2015 Nissan LEAF to replace a 15 year old BMW 323i.  I used to spend $60/week to fill up. Now I spend ~$30 per MONTH for electricity. So far, I've saved $6,000 in gas and $1,000 in regular service and repairs. Mostly because regenerative braking has doubled the life of my pads & rotors and no oil & filter changes.

I haven't lost any range although I do expect it will drop from ~130km to ~100km in the next 10 years. I haven't seen any evidence that batteries need to be replaced. Mine carries a 5yr/100,000km warranty. Most new EVs have 8yr/160,000km warranties.

I don't understand the hate for what is after all, just a car. A quiet, quick, reliable and practical car for many people
