Lithium iron phosphate batteries are the hot new thing. No cadmium or nickel required. So I've been hearing that they cost, like, 40% less than the previous versions of lithium ion batteries. There are other benefits, too. You can watch some videos by the "Electric Viking" about it on YouTube.

It's cool that I had one of these LiFePO4 batteries as my starter battery several years ago, thanks to something I read on here.

EV market share in Europe is up to 22% now, and the F150 Lightning just got released. Exciting times.

I have no idea what we'll do in a couple years when our Leaf battery needs replacement. At $8k it's really tempting to just put it towards a new car. On the other hand, I kinda want to keep our Leaf because it's a humble bit of history. Kinda like a Model T.
