No I'm not looking to buy - - - but I would like to know the pricing (available
items only) say for replacement batteries for the top 4 or 5 selling models
of hybrids and the same number of purely EV vehicles. Would love to find
out same for class 7 and 8 trucks but doubt that is available. As there was
an assertion made that such was available in more than one battery chemistry
that would also need to be included.

Re batteries and shipping - - - that's another issue - - - there are some very
tough regulations re: shipping of batteries here, so that makes me more than
somewhat dependent upon at least a somewhat local supplier. (Not my choice
but having read of more than a few homes in the area that have been destroyed
by lithium battery fires I can understand the reluctance of shipping firms to
handle such product.)

Fascinating - - - electric powered boats - - - likely not ships though.
