How much do electric car batteries cost in the UK?
I’ve only had my electric vehicle for a few years now, but I want to set aside some extra money for possible upcoming maintenance costs (I’m a planner!). I live in England, and I was wondering how much electric car batteries cost for us in the UK?

It’s always a good idea to think ahead! I’m also very Type-A, so I get it! It’s typical for
electric car
manufacturers to give owners an eight- to 10-year battery warranty (or once they hit the 100,000-mile mark). But if more time has gone by and your battery does need to be replaced, consider the cost of the battery itself plus installation fees. Here’s what we know about the cost of electric car batteries in the UK:- The average battery costs about £87 per kWh. If you had aTesla Model S, you may be looking at around £8,870 plus the cost of removing the old one and installing the new one.
- To replace your battery, it can cost about £1800 to have it professionally installed, assuming that you bring your own battery replacement.
- A 30 Kwh battery installation can set you back about £7000, and a 40 Kwh installation will cost about £8000.
- Some drivers choose to lease an electric car battery for £50 to £100 per month.
Now that you have a good idea of how much money to set aside, make sure you’re not throwing away your precious income on an overpriced car insurance policy. No one wants to overpay for their coverage every month, and that’s where the
Jerry
app can help. Once you download Jerry, just answer a handful of questions that will take you roughly 45 seconds to complete and you’ll immediately get car insurance quotes for coverage similar to your current plan. Jerry users save an average of over $800 a year.
