Even though the Chevy Bolt is one of the greatest electric vehicles you can buy, changing the battery can be expensive, so you should have a backup plan in place just in case. How long until the batteries need to be changed is a common question among buyers of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. But if they’ve owned their EVs for a longer period of time, owners of older EVs will probably need to replace the batteries at some point.
Due to general battery degradation over the years of Chevy Volt sales, we have yet to have one of the battery packs replaced by the manufacturer as it ages. Many owners continue to report that their cars’ range capabilities are about the same as they were when they were first purchased. If your electric car is still covered by warranty, you might not have to pay anything to replace the battery pack, but depending on the make and type of your car, it might cost up to $20,000. A new Chevy Bolt, for example, will cost, on average, about $8,905 (excluding taxes and fees). It has a 65-kWh battery pack.
