How much??

[GOATever]

A Jag dealer near me had a delivery including an iPace. The guy driving it off the truck, screwed up, and it fell off the ramp a bit. 1800 quid for the rear wheel and wishbone, and suspension bits. But someone noticed the battery was cracked. That was 30 grand. 30 grand for the battery?Christ alive. .

Unless my maths has failed me that would bring the total to £31,800.

HTH.

Yep, the insurance wrote it off.

Can see why you have to hire the battery pack, now!
Is it really that much cheaper to run an ev?

I think that battery costs will be the thing that puts the sts up people, when they come off lease / pcp / finance.

I guess it’s a big reach around throughout the manufacturing chain. The battery pack, replaces fuel, you lease the battery, the cost of the lease is seen as ‘fuel costs’. It’s a big scam, job creation / wealth creation ( for the manufacturers ). I’ve been told the knackered ( standard ) battery pack on the iPace ( the one that was FUBAR ) was put down as a 20 grand claim ( not 30 grand ) there are some packs that are 30 grand, but not this particular one ( so I’m told ). But 20 grand is still .
