EV Battery Cost & Replacement

An electric car battery is a series of smaller batteries.
 

The Chevrolet lineup offers a wide range of industry-leading electric vehicles, from the Bolt EV hatchback to the Hummer EV SUV to the Silverado EV pickup. When you invest in one of these efficient and eco-friendly models, it’s important to understand some basics of EV batteries, specifically their prices and replacement intervals. So, just how much does an EV battery cost? And how often do you replace an EV battery? Find the answers to these questions and more in the following guide from Chevrolet GMC Of Fairbanks.

 

How Much Does an EV Battery Cost?

When determining how much an EV battery costs, several factors come into play. The make and model of your vehicle and the size and type of battery it uses all affect EV battery cost. So too does the particular warranty coverage you have on your EV, as many warranties will cover all or part of your EV battery replacement expenses.

With all this in mind, how much does an EV battery cost? The price ranges from $6,500 to $20,000. While that might seem like a significant amount, remember that EV battery replacement is not a routine part of maintenance, and what’s more, our service and parts specials may help you save.

How Often Do You Replace an EV Battery?

How often you replace an EV battery also varies, depending largely on its condition and the performance of your EV. But, in general, you can expect an EV battery to last between 10 and 20 years. EV batteries are designed for long, reliable lifespans, so the need for replacement is rare; in fact, a modern EV may only need a new battery once or twice over the course of its entire lifetime.

How Do You Maintain an EV Battery?

Get the most out of your EV battery and ensure its continued performance on the roads of Fort Wainwright, Eielson Airforce Base, and beyond by following these maintenance tips:

  • Drive steadily and evenly as much as possible; using up large amounts of power in short periods can be hard on an EV battery.
  • Keep a 20% to 80% charge at all times, as consistently higher or lower numbers can decrease battery life.
  • Park indoors whenever you can because cold temperatures can put a lot of stress on your EV battery.
  • Use DC Fast Charging stations only as needed; regular charging with DC Fast Charging can cause your battery to deteriorate faster.
