You can Google it, but LSS they went out of business almost as soon as the trucks went to market. Sticker price of $55,000 probably had something to with it, if the 55 mile range wasn't the nail in the coffin. Anyway, this 55,000 mile example came up for sale and I offered $1700 but they want $2500. Do these things have any value these days such that I should bump up my offer?
2011 Azure Dynamics Transit Connect van. Worth anything these days?

Literally scrap value. Everything powertrain related is obsolete.
55 mile range with 55K on it. I think Apple use to say its lithium ion products could be charged 1000 times before needing a battery replacement. Connect the dots.
A lot of that is playing around with used capacity and the threshold for the limit. Even after hitting a threshold, a battery pack may still be useful. I've had an iPad that had over 1500 cycles on it and was showing up as having maybe 65% of its original capacity.
Apple actually plays around with it depending on size of the device. Their mobile phones are all rated for 500 cycles, while tablets and notebook computers are 1000. The threshold is 80%. So it's pretty obvious that the larger devices use slightly less of the overall capacity in order to extend the number of cycles.
Standards vary too. With NiMH AA cells, it's supposedly up to 60% of original capacity when they consider them to be "depleted". Tesla says 70%, although their warranty is based on time and mileage. I've heard other manufacters have different standards, like GM - maybe 60%?
Anything that runs and drives is worth that much
