It costs less than a new engine. But there are teslas at 200,000 miles (in the US) do it’s not as if they need new batteries every few years. (Had one for 7 years now, no sign of battery replacement required and only 2% degradation.
@wscholermann @SituationCake battery technology is improving constantly. I have a 10yo ev, bought secondhand and got the battery upgraded, the new battery is double the range than the old one was when new, and the old battery was still very serviceable and can be used for an off grid home battery system, but new batteries if the size of the old one are getting so cheap now it's probably cheaper to connect a new battery to an off grid pv system.
