This from a dealership in Florida for a Chevy Volt battery replacement. I suppose if you live in an urban area EV's might make sense to you, but many live out of the city, put lots more miles on their vehicles so the range issue is real, and when I see a repair bill like this it doesn't give me confidence. I'm sure there will be off market replacements at some point which will likely be cheaper. However, 60% of the new vehicle cost for a batter replacement, what does that do to resale value and given that the majority of people don't buy new because of the expense who will want to buy used with this kind of bill in their future?
