That sounds a bit high, but batteries for a full scale electric car (no glorified golf carts) are very expensive.

That, the longer refill time, and the extra weight and space for the batteries, are the main arguments against mass adoption of electric cars. (There are other arguments as well, much less charging infrastructure then there is filling infrastructure for gasoline powered cars, questions about sufficient availability of some of the materials used for the batteries, the need for new generation capacity, etc.)
