It wouldn't be a bad idea. But also you never know. My old car's battery lasted 8 years before I finally had to replace it. Sometimes things just chug along for a long time
The bolt (possibly the cheapest used EV available) batteries last well into the 200,000mi lifespan. My insurance lowered $80 when I bought my first EV. My state started charging an extra $150 to register an EV in 2019. About the same as the average ICE owner would pay in gas tax.
Generally speaking the ownership cost is low. I have had a 2013 Volt since new. I hardly ever need the engine to run, so it has had 6 oil changes in 12 years. I have done no other engine maintenance. It still has its original traction battery and is still performing well.
At 10 years and 330,000 kms my Volt battery didn't even show degradation.
The replacement battery I bought was a Duracell from Sam’s Club. Fit and worked fine.
Mine is ten years old. It's a Chevy volt so it's a small battery and has over 3000 cycles and done 130000 km. It's at 87% original capacity.
Not near Utah but here on the west coast I use Powersonic or Genesis or Yuasa with good luck. For some reason all the Duracells I have purchased over the years fail about a year out of install.
Power Sonic or Yuasa. Duracell is great for lots of service every year after an inspection. Never seen them make it to the next inspection alive.
My company uses Duracells. Do not recommend
Always like Duracell because I hate that damn bunny. But doesn't matter to me right now because my damn RMR is defective and drains the battery in 3 months.
