No one will really tell you what it costs. These are predicted costs for future batteries by the way. I think the out of warranty replacement cost of the 85 KwH battery pack is $12,000 if you pay in advance to get that price, but, like a lot of things Tesla, it's all rather murky at the moment. You really gonna spend perhaps $1300 a year for batteries?Īs for Teslas, I don't think anyone is selling rebuilds right now, as their battery design is quite different than the other EVs. However, did you look at the rebuilt's warranty? 24 months. One might be lured into thinking "well you can get a Prius battery rebuilt for $2100 (plus install)". I think what he means (if I may be so bold as to speak for him) is-what is the market motivation for rebuilding them? Since there's no glam in old tech anyway, and the new 2022 models will rung rings around his obsolete Tesla, which probably has other mechanical and cosmetic issues by that time anyway, the owner might be very content to just junk it. SUMMARY: Why would someone choose a Model 3 over a VOLT? Volt does not have a "supercharger" option, as GM thought this irrelevant for the Volt.ĬARGO CAPACITY: Don't have dimensions on the Model 3 but the VOLT is not as spacious as a Crossover might be. Tesla Service CenterĬHARGING RATES: Both vehicles charge about the same rate on home charger. SERVICING: Any Chevy dealer or independent service station vs. PURCHASE PRICE: About the same after tax credits, etc. Most EVs cost you about 3 to 4 KwH per 100 miles. Volt maintenance includes tire rotation at 7,500 miles, oil at 24 months, cabin air filter at 36 months, evap check and air filter at 75,000 miles.ĭon't have performance specs on the Model 3, but the Volt is pretty peppy in EV mode, under 8 seconds 0-60, similar with gas engine. Therefore, it is possible that most people could run the Volt with gasoline for weeks at a time, thus rendering an EV's range of 100-200 miles a luxury that nobody needs.Ĭurrent estimate from Tesla state that yearly maintenance on a Tesla (while in warranty) would be about $600 a year. The Volt's range is 50 miles (tested in "real world" conditions). "Using data obtained from the Department of Transport’s 2009 National Household Travel Survey (NHTS), Garrett Fitzgerald and Rob van Haaren analyzed the travel data of survey participants, concluding that 95 percent of the 748,918 recorded single-trip journeys by car were under 30 miles." source: Green Car Reports With the Premier trim, buyers can choose to tack on lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, automatic cruise control and rear cross-traffic alert, which offer additional safety benefits.Let's look at the numbers together, and see if this premise holds water!
