1. Someone out there knows more precisely, but the Lead Acid batteries they are using should last about 25,000 miles and cost about $2500 to replace. NiMH cost a whole lot more, give greater range, and last about 150,000 miles. 2. Regarding electricity generation: Electrical generaters throw away power every night. The generators can't be shut down overnight, so the electricity they produce if not consumed dissipates into the ether. Tens of thousands of EVs, charging as they overwhelmingly will overnight, will use that power, generating revenue for electricity suppliers and NOT contributing to increased pollution at the source.
