It's wild seeing how far some people have been refurbishing the batteries on their Leafs just to eek out more life on their cars, and without needing to do much else. I guess it's a testament to how well everything else holds up, especially at it's price point and age.
Yeah that battery chemistry really did not hold up. If they would have just added something like an all in one water cooler, probably would still have close to its max range.
I really think this is why the industry has such resistance to EVs. They simply will not need to be replaced as often (they said, ignoring the article stating otherwise).
