Description:
In this episode of Kilowatt, I feature Allison Sheridan from NosillaCast interviewing Ron Burch, who shares his experience with maintaining a decade-old Tesla Model S. Ron's decision to replace his aging battery instead of buying a new car sheds light on electric vehicle ownership and maintenance longevity. We explore the specifics of his Model S, its impressive condition after ten years, and the battery replacement process, including cost comparisons between reconditioned and new cells. Ron offers insights on battery degradation, his driving habits, and the enhancements in charging efficiency with the new battery. This conversation not only uncovers the technicalities of battery replacement but also emphasizes sustainability in vehicle ownership amidst the evolving electric vehicle landscape.
