EV battery replacement cost by model

Battery size for popular EVs with an estimated out-of-warranty pack replacement cost. The kWh figures are real specs; the dollar column is an illustration: most packs are replaced free under warranty.

How the estimate is built: battery size × $150/kWh pack cost + $960 labor (8 hr × $120/hr), rounded. Pack prices fall every year and vary by make, so treat this as a ballpark. For your own numbers, use the battery replacement cost calculator.

Read this before you worry

US EVs carry at least an 8-year / 100,000-mile battery warranty by federal law: many makers offer 10 years, and several states extend it further. A defective pack inside that window is replaced at no cost.
Full pack failures are rare. Large fleet studies show most packs lose only a few percent of capacity over many years: they tend to fade gradually, not fail outright.
The cost column is a single-assumption illustration, not a dealer quote. Remanufactured or used packs, module-level repairs, and falling cell prices can all change the real figure.

Check the battery's health first

Before paying for a pack, or buying a used EV, read the state of health its battery management system reports. An OBD-II adapter plus a model-specific app (LeafSpy for a Leaf, Scan My Tesla for a Tesla, Car Scanner for many others) shows it on your phone. A Tesla also needs a separate adapter cable, and only the MX+ is listed for Scan My Tesla.
