The psychology literature certainly has a lot to say about the topic, but economists have a rather simplistic view of the issue. ,

I like the thought of leasing the battery and when it wears out install a new one and continue paying a monthly lease.

Don’t dream that a battery like Li-ion or NiMH can reach a lifetime of 10 to 15 years with at least 80% of initial capacity. Even at low discharge depth (DOD), little overcharge and 5 cycles per week 4 to 6 years would be a fair value. Anyhow, there are no real time data over this duration currently available and certainly no statistics. Electrochemical process insight indicates instability rather than stability of high energy storage reactions.

10 to 15years of battery use is great for the consumer and the dealer becuase the consumer can tradein the vehicle for a new model and provide the dealer with a model that they can resale without losing value in the battery. As far as Cobasys goes I hope that A123 is keep a private company and they don’t sell out to GM or Cobasys.. This would be the end of EV cars as we know it. Remember who owns Cobasys, “CHEVRON”. As far as a Fast Recharging Station goes, the last time I look every gas station has Electric power. The only addition would be to setup a charging station to the side. It would be a lot cheaper than setup up a Hydrogen station.

While we stall getting the technology out the door, Congress is getting ready to pass bills that will limit who gets to speculate on oil.. The general concensus is that this should drop the price of oil to the $2 per gallon range.. Exactly what happened in the 70’s to cause the U.S. to not seriously look at other technology.. Look at Brasil otoh. They took that as a sign never to be dependent on oil, and went to ethanol. BTW, why are we taxing brazilian ethanol, and giving our farmers subsidies on corn ethanol?
