The vast majority of EV owners will spend $0 to replace their batteries since the batteries last longer than the rest of the car does.
Edit: part of that is that a Prius with 250,000 miles needing its second battery replacement is still a valuable car with a reasonable expectation of a lot more miles. OTOH a Tesla at 250,000 miles needing its first battery replacement...
Similarly Chrysler hybrid owners spend less money on battery replacements than Toyota hybrid owners. Not a compliment, it means they're scrapping their cars earlier.
My 2015 Model as’ battery went the day the warranty ended and so they gave me a trash refurbished one “half price” for $8k
This low maintenance cost thing is BS once something actually goes wrong. And it’s awfully frustrating / sus when it happens the moment the warranty ends
My 2017’s HV fuse went just days before the warranty ended. They tried to charge me $330 for that planned part.
