What’s the real cost of replacing an EV battery? Yes, the replacement itself costs $10K–$20K. And yes, it’s usually covered under warranty (8–10 years / up to 150K miles). But here’s what nobody tells you: If you’re a dealership, you still lose money, even under warranty. Storage, downtime, logistics, paperwork = $3K–$4K gone. Lesson: Always check the battery before you buy, even if the car’s under warranty. ⚡ | Voltest | Facebook
