A new battery will be pretty close to the price of the entire used car. Im not sure that is a valid economic proposition.

Citation please! This is FUD otherwise.

For a LEAF, $2.3k for a refurb, and >$6k for new. https://electrek.co/2018/03/26/nissan-leaf-battery-pack-repl...

Unfortunately, that's in the ballpark for a used LEAF.

I can find e-Ups for 10000€ (new 26000€). A new battery will most likely cost 10000€ too.

Tesla battery is $6500. I doubt other EVs can get much lower.

not FUD if it is true even without citation (you are allowed to do research on your own)

I’m sure that will create a market for certified battery replacement workshops.
