The Shocking Cost Of EV Battery Replacement: A Look At Popular Models In The Market | Carscoops carscoops

i3, this quirky little subcompact’s battery was found to cost anywhere from $2,500 for a used example to as much as $16,000 for a new one from BMW. That equates to $145/kWh for the low end and $727/kWh for the high end. As for the Chevy Bolt, GM themselves listed the price of a battery at $15,734 back in 2017, however Recurrent found that dealers were charging closer to the $16,000 mark, and that was before labor.

Next up is the hybrid Chevy Volt, not to be confused with the all-electric Bolt. And seeing as it’s a hybrid, its smaller battery tends to cost less to replace than its electric counterpart’s. Recurrent detailed a price as little as $3,000 for a used pack or as much as $8,000 for a remanufactured one, which comes out to $152/kWh and $467/kWh respectively.

The humble Nissan Leaf, which has been on the road longer than any other car on this list, seems to vary more in its battery replacement costs. A 30 kWh pack could run you anywhere from $3,500-$4,500, a 40 kWh pack could cost in the area of $6,500-$7,000, and a large 62 kWh pack will run you roughly $8,500-$9,500, all excluding labor costs. Respectively, that comes out to $150/kWh, $187.5/kWh, and $153/kWh maximum for each of those ranges.
