Estimate the cost of replacing an electric car battery.
Replacement cost scales with the pack's energy size times the per-kWh price, plus labor. Spreading it over the pack's expected life gives an annual figure. Batteries are the biggest EV component, so this cost, though rarely paid, anchors both maintenance budgets and resale value.
