BC, Went in this week...now $12,500 for a replacement battery...all for a POS car with a range of 120 miles. Weeks back I saw another article about a similar situation. Someone had an older EV (maybe a Nissan Leaf) whose battery needed to be replaced. The quoted price, of course, was through the roof. Better to just buy a new EV than to replace the battery on the older one, in terms of macroeconomics. This battery issue is going to be a huge problem very soon, and our oh-so-omniscient government officials are way behind the curve. All because in their zeal to "mandate" EVs, they never cared about how to actually make it all work. Tenchusatsu
