"I would be very happy if a Tesla battery was $15,000."
Thanks Galderdi. This figure was given to me from that Munich study I translated. I have read a critique of that study, which ignores the CO2 cost of winning the lithium, cobalt and manganese, it however claims the Tesla factory runs off solar as an obvious plus.
When I drove a GM electric car for a friend, the salesman was very reluctant to state the figure for a replacement battery. We will have to wait a few more years before we get some Aussie figures.
