Another big cost factor is regular maintenance. Manufacturers know they will make very little or NOTHING after they sell / lease an EV.
We know that the replacement 24kWh battery pack for the Nissan Leaf costs ~$5,500 (with a $1,000 credit for the old battery). And the cost 8-10 years in the future - or more - will be much less.
Back on topic: our leases are a MUCH bigger limit on the range than the battery, in our two ~24kWh EV's.
