electric car

Go to La Rochelle in France, there was a speciall set up there and lots
(comparatively) of PSA electric vehicles were there.
Try a Google search for "electric cars uk" for lots of information on what
is now happening.

By the way, just because Citroen want £15k (allegedly) for a new set of
batteries, doesn't mean that is what one would have to pay. Do you ALWAYS
buy ALL of your consumables from the authorised franchised dealer?

 

Brian () gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying :

Would you like the part numbers?

You wouldn't get 'em anywhere else. It's not a handful of Duracells,
y'know.

 

Depends on how Bespoke the batteries are, if PSA used off the shelf
batteries then yes you might well be able to source them elsewhere
but if they were specially made for PSA there might boot be any
option other than to source them from PSA.

 

got one that sits in the car park and is used every day also in very
good nick..

 

Oh boy oh boy.

I can get lots of bespoke PSA parts for far less than the UK franchised
dealers ask. PSA certainly will not be manufacuring the batteries
themselves.

 

But nor will the actual manufactures be making them to sit on the
self, we're not talking about some common but bespoke PSA parts
here...

 

Accepted, they will not be that easy to find, but there are now quite a few
traction battery manufacturers out there.
And you can be sure that PSA are making at least 100% mark up on their
price, probably far more if you could check back to the original supplier's
price.
Many of these large companies have a way of selling the part from company to
company within their empire in order to increase the final price, but this
does hide the vast mark up.

 

Indeed but will they have access to the design that PSA used, again
we are not talking about off the self designs.

Indeed, if you can find the original manufacture then you may well be
able to save money, but that does depend on the willingness of the
company to sell direct or them even being able to - if PSA hold the
patents etc.
