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.\nSupport the Show: https://www.supportkilowatt.com/\nOther Podcasts:\n\n \tBeyond the Post YouTube\n \tBeyond the Post Podcast\n \tShuffle Playlist\n \t918Digital Website\n\nLinks:\n\n \tChit Chat Across the Pond: CCATP 832\n \tNosillaCast: NC 1091\n \tPodfeet Blog\n\n*Show Art Created By Gemini Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
