      Don’t know where you are, but in the UK, there are loads of old Leafs you can buy. The batteries where small to start with, and had no thermal management, but they are still usable. That what the article is saying, almost all ever made are still in use. Later EVs manage the battery, including it’s thermals, much better.

      That is not tomorrows battery tech, or even today’s, it’s yesterday’s.
