Does Walmart sell battery packs for electric cars?
If something happens to the battery pack in my EV and I need a replacement, where do I go? Does Walmart sell battery packs for electric cars?

battery replacement ranges from $0 to $20,000. You’ll have a typical manufacturer warranty of about eight years or a mileage limit when you buy your new EV. If your battery expires within that limit, your replacement will most likely come at no extra cost. Most people will need protection against battery degradation through a third party like your car insurance provider.
