   BMW does great thermal management and battery maintenance. People on some of    
   the BMW boards showed cars with limited degradation and 100,000+ miles.   
      
   Compare with a Nissan Leaf, they apparently have horrid battery management    
   and lose their collective chrarges after 5-6 years.
