EV drivers who decide to keep their car for a long time won’t want to be stuck with what could potentially be an expensive and major repair, running them anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000. Batteries degrade at varying rates based on a number of factors like how the EV was charged, what type of environment it was driven in, and more. The state of the battery is also important info once an EV enters the used market. A second or third owner of an EV would want to know if the battery has already been replaced or if it’s something that may need to be done. A battery having been replaced before a second or third owner would actually be a benefit, as the EV would essentially be back to new. *The high Kona and Bolt percentages are primarily a result of the vehicles’ major battery recalls. https://www.activistpost.com/2023/03/electric-vehicle-battery-replacements-cost-5000-20000-list-reveals-which-ones-need-replacing-most.html
