What would be a huge downer was if it stopped running, and I'd have to part with way too much more money to make it work again. I know people immediately think, battery. But I can still use the car with half of the battery capacity. Might be nice to find a cheap used one. Something to tear apart and play with.
exactly. the price I paid on my leaf is less than an 'equivalent' new car +$10K for an ev conversion and is a way better can than I could have built. I figure I'll drive the car for at least 2 redesign periods and don't count on getting any real residual value at sale/trade-in.
