Volkswagen E-Golf Forum • View Topic

5500 quoted cost for a replacement Leaf battery pack is part of Nissan's answer to the complaints (and class action lawsuit) from early adopters who found their battery packs degrading quickly in hot climates. It's pretty well understood that Nissan is selling these below cost. Has anyone priced out an E-Golf battery. If the replacement cost is too high, these E-Golfs will be disposable. Not something I want to put money into if it is excessive. I generally keep my cars a long, long time. Ask anyone how many old VW TDI's are still on the road with over 300k miles on them. Unlike Nissan's initial launch of the Leaf, VW is guaranteeing that the eGolf's batteries will have at least 70% capacity for 8 years/100k miles. Nissan now has a battery capacity warranty (retroactive to earlier cars) but that's only good for 5 years or 60k miles. As far as the VW TDI, if it's one of the later models affected by the scandal, VW's proposed fix could render those cars as slow as an old Rabbit diesel. If you live in a CARB state, you may not be able to renew registration on the car without the fix applied.

In the United States, one city is typically synonymous with the automotive industry. It's challenging to think of an American made car without thinking of Detroit, Michigan, and in recent years the financial trouble the automobile giant has endured. Though foreign manufacturers in Japan and Korea have gained strength and drivers in the US, it doesn't necessarily mean US automakers are done. MSNBC reported in late 2011 that the Big 3 in Detroit - Chrysler, Ford, and GM - enjoyed a nearly 30 percent increase due to a demand in sports utility vehicles and trucks. Since 2000, an average of 48 million passenger cars alone have been manufactured annually around the world. According to Worldometers, China produces one of every four new cars, and more than half of all cars are produced in Asia and Oceania. Of the approximated one billion passenger cars on the road around the world, close to 25 percent of them are registered in the United States.

According to Businessweek, the top selling car in the world is the Toyota Corolla, with sales of well over 35 million. While China is one of the world's largest producers of passenger vehicles, the country is not necessarily ranked high among top global exporters. Germany - The roots of the German automotive industry date back to the late nineteenth century and the various patents owned by Karl Benz. Where in that time the country produced barely a thousand cars a year, now over five million are manufactured. Popular German brands include Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, BMW, and Porsche. Japan - Gasoline-powered vehicles have been built in Japan early as 1907. Despite natural disasters that threatened the nation's economy, Japan has worked to maintain its place among top car producers and exporters. Toyota, one of the top selling brands of all time, is based in Japan, as are Nissan, Honda, Mazda, and Subaru.
