Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Electric Vehicles: Discussion with Irish EV Owners Association

9:30 am

Mr. Frank Barr:

I can only speak for the nice people in Nissan and not for the other manufacturers but if a car owner's battery capacity drops and all battery capacity drops over a period, Nissan will replace the battery with a brand new battery for a cost of €6,000 but unfortunately, the new battery technology in its car model that will come out next year is not compatible with the old one. Therefore, it will not be possible to do that.
