There was a woman on the east coast who had the same thing happen shortly after, and Hyundai asked the EXACT SAME PRICE for the battery. They're liars.

Shocking news😲 I'm sure keeping my old car for now🚘

This is the case with Hyundai EVs unfortunately. I was going to buy a 2nd hand Hyundai Ioniq 28kWh from 2018. I rang up my local Hyundai dealer to find out what it would cost to replace the battery if it failed. The cost was more than the car was actually worth. That was the end of that deal. I'll stick with my Toyota hybrid. At least the replacement battery is only $1,000 and the warranty is 3 years.

Pricing is determined by speculation. People do not have confidence in second hand EV's yet so their pricing is low but this also means that second hand EV's are uniquely affordable and quite the bargain. Of course, there will be EV's where the battery pack was well treated with mostly slow recharges up to 80% and few full charges and there will be EV's where the batteries were topped off to 100% every night and recharged quickly at DC fast chargers often hence burning out the battery pack. The GM Bolt battery recall cited three different manufacturing flaws in the battery packs so clearly there will be good battery packs and lemons. However as with ICE vehicles, you have a better opportunity to inspect the vehicle to be purchased for problems then you do with purchasing a new vehicle. Hopefully, companies such as Ample will also offer you affordable options to replace the factory battery pack at which point EV's could end up with much better resale value in the long run. As the Nissan Leaf has been around a long time, third party refurbishing of it's battery pack has become common and the detractor from second hand Leaf's are just the Chademo power receptacle not being supported at many DC fast chargers, of course for daily commutes, fast charging is not advisable anyways so purchasing a second hand Nissan Leaf has repeatedly been proven as a wise economic choice though not much of a bragging right. It is interesting that most of the videos of Ample battery swapping are of Nissan Leaf's refitted with Ample battery modules.

That's actually not entirely true, it is usually only one cell that impairs the entire battery pack. It is the auto manufacturers that wants you to replace the entire vehicle instead of refurbishing or replacing the battery pack. The first generation of Toyota Prius in North America had battery pack replacements quoted as $20,000 by dealers but DIY'ers found that the battery pack was built of NiMH D cells and using a voltmeter, the failed cell could be found and you could replace the cell with a soldering iron for as little as $12. Since then, not only did auto manufacturers move to proprietary physical formats instead of standardized formats which could be purchased by third parties (forcing third parties to use salvaged battery packs from the scrap yard) but they programmed the battery management units to brick the vehicle should the voltage of any module change suddenly as in the battery being replaced hence third parties who replace batteries are forced to hack the DMS and or drain the replacement batteries to match the voltage of the failed cell. The battery packs are only expensive to repair because the auto manufacturers wants you to purchase a new vehicle instead of repairing it. We need the right to repair legislations and such legislation needs to not be tainted by the industry as the airline passenger rights legislation have been. Our government representatives must be clearly told that we will not tolerate their collusions with their corporate donors anymore.

@@trev1037 If you look at the Leaf battery pack. It is designed to have modules of four pouch cells replaced and indeed their internal maintenance manuals include procedures for doing so. Yet the battery management system of the Nissan Leaf will brick the car if the voltage of any module change dramatically and there is no factory reset that would allow it to rediscover the battery pack as if it was all just installed. At some point, the decision to make the battery pack difficult to refurbish was made. Sure there are other issues such as there are a lot of cells hence labour intensive which is why GM's original intent to only replace failed cells in the Chevy Bolt failed and they had to revert to replacing the entire battery pack on their recall and of course as the batteries physical formats are not industry standards, replacements may not be available which is why GM ended the supply of spare parts for the Spark EV five years before the warranties expired as replacement parts were just no longer available. It is still clear that at some point, the decision to not make the battery packs easy to refurbish and repair was made and it's not just due to lack or personnel and replacement parts though those issues does exist. Note industry standards would help make replacement parts available... As to your hero worship of Tesla. Tesla is the main reason why auto manufacturers believe they can lock you into proprietary ecosystems and subscriptions. Tesla is the disruptive newcomer and we should appreciate the disruption they have provided as it forced the traditional manufacturers from just shelving their EV technology but Tesla still has many failings, for example the airflow path for the model 3 HVAC has areas where standing water can collect such that there are now Model 3's with difficult to address odour problems. Choosing a Tesla is not a cure all though we certainly hope they will get better over time but you can expect Tesla to increasingly get as greedy as the traditional auto manufacturers and much of the inroads into subscription services was started by Tesla.

Their dealerships are also notorious for being some of the worst to deal with, and pretty much why the Kia stinger failed to sell well when it was otherwise a good car in its segment.

There was a second case as well also reported by Motor Mouth in their KZread video. So, it's not an isolated incident.

My owned since new 2006 Civic has needed a new AC compressor, a new alternator, a new starter, front and rear shocks, stabilizer links, front control arm bushings, a new cruise control switch, a couple of serpentine belts, a new rear view mirror, a new fuel door release cable, one new clutch, and a new set of bearings in the transmission (manual, so not expensive). Plus all the usual regular maintenance items. I did the work myself except for the AC compressor and the transmission bearing set plus clutch, and the first 9 years of regular maintenance items (which the dealer did). Honda's service manual removes the guess work from diy repairs. I use a mix of OEM and good quality after market parts. None are too expensive. Fuel consumption today is the same as new. It drives perfectly. It's incredibly rugged and reliable. It survived four kids learning to drive manual (lots of harsh lurching starts, stalls, and bad shifts). Amortized over its whole life, it's incredibly cheap to maintain. 396k km now. It's final drive to the junk yard is on the distant horizon, probably at twenty years old, claimed by rust. It will be well past 400k km at that time and if I had done better annual rust prevention it would have lasted longer. My story is not unique. Now I ask myself, why would I ever expose myself to the uncertainty of EV battery replacement. p.s. I have an Odyssey, a bit younger, that's on a similar journey.

Insurance should cover it. But someone should be able to repair part of the battery and use it for something else. No need to waste the materials. You could even use it for a home solar system.

Hyundai lied about the pricing b/c shortly afterward a Canadian on the East Coast was quoted the same price to replace her Ioniq 5 battery after hitting a piece od exhaust on the road. The dealers were merely quoting pricing given to them by Hyundai Canada,

So, the battery was "damaged" Damaged from an outside course? What was the damage? Caused by the owner? If that is the case, I understand that Hyundai is not responsible for that, then it will be an insurance matter. And the 60k pricetag was fault, the real costs were much lower. 2:30. If you destroy your fueltank of your ICE in whatever way, the manufacterer will also not replace the feul tank for free under waranty.

I see no reason to be worried about any part replacement when the warranty is 8 years. And as we know Hyundai cars, even the oldest ioniq classic 28KWH ev's , are not even these 8 years old. In other words... These showdowns about prices are not the costs of a battery replacement alone (or module from the battery). They are the total repair costs after an accident. (No warranty on accident repait costs which is obvious). As my knowledge about this case..The battere placement of this ioniq 5 is also the main frame of the car...the chassis .(EGMP platform) That was damaged including parts of the battery in it. Just show me one ICE car with a damaged chassis that is not totalled and safe on the roads. And what the repair costs are (compared to the new price). I'm sure that in the netherlands they do not repair cars with a damaged chassis.

Even smart phones, are no longer designed for the batteries to be replaced. You have to assume that the EV's are simply designed to be replaced entirely should the batteries need to be replaced. Even older EV's such as the Nissan Leaf where the modules were clearly designed to be replaceable were clearly marketed as the car to be replaced instead of refurbishing the batteries and it is only third parties that brought refurbishing Leaf batteries usually with salvaged batteries. Hopefully, companies such as Ample which plans to offer battery pack replacements that offer swappable battery modules will address this problem. Unfortunately, the lack of standardization greatly limits companies such as Ample to organizations with fleets of vehicles so our access to such conversions will be lacking for quite some time.

The excuse of "a system process producing retail prices automatically, which were calculated incorrectly" & "we remedied this issue in our system" (2:31) is like White Star Line saying that steering the ship into an iceberg was incorrect & we have remedied this issue. At 3:45, his insurance rate has increased $600 "due to a variety of factors". I'm guessing the variety is a claim to total a $50k+ car. I'm really surprised the rate only went up $600, that's a very forgiving insurer.

why isn't this battery technology modular, why does the entire battery have to be replaced

Can you imagine if say 1 million EV went out of warranty and the battery's went bad after say 10 years. What happens to all those EV's that people just do not want anymore due to the cost

Someone in the game would have purchased it and removed the battery pack and replace a cell or two and sold it for a good price, the car didn't need a complete new battery pack anyway

So in a minor incident like what happened here, the vehicle is written off by the insurance company. So tell me again how EVs will save the planet. The man hit something on the Hwy and it impacted the protective plastic battery cover. Sure sounds like that battery protective cover does not do much in the way of protection. Why is it not made out of metal? If the vehicle had been a Toyota hybrid that battery pack is protected by a steel area. What does not make sense is the price the Hyundai dealer wanted to charge for the battery pack. The most powerful Tesla battery pack is around 26763.70 which is more powerful than the Hyundai battery pack. How can a Hyundai battery pack cost $50,000-$60,000?

Just my small electric bike costed me 1k in battery I can imagine why its so much for a car

Do people not ask questions before buying electric cars???

It's going to be hell when people try and repair their own battery cells because that's exactly what's going to happen, alot of burns and deaths will occur

Why is this story centered around the Spencers and their youtube channel and not the actual owner of the vehicle? It seems like they just heard about the issue and are middle men. Not great journalism in my mind.

So he was quoted a ridiculous price from one mechanic and never tried to get a second quote or talk to the dealership? Seems like anyone who is willing to advocate for themselves and put in a minimal efffort could have had a better outcome. Battery replacement prices are too damn high tho, like rent.

couple this with lack of charging infrastructure especially in rural areas and we don't have a winner in ev's

Buy a gas model Toyota, Done.

This clearly shows that governments simply mandating that all consumer vehicles should be electric by 2035, or giving tax breakers to EV or battery makers is short-sighted. They need to think long and hard about standardization, forcing EV makers to standardize parts and components like batteries, motors, charging equipment across manufacturers. You can't have a situation where every EV maker makes its own custom platform if the cost of single components like the battery is so high. Maybe battery packs need to be split up and connected in series to fit the vehicle profile, so that damage is limited to only a small part of the battery and different automakers and choose to configure the battery for each type of vehicle by simply adding smaller batteries in series. So the smaller chunked batteries can be standardized and mass-produced by multiple manufacturers and there is competition. If governments fail to protect early adopters, EVs will fail.

2035 is the year they stop making gas cars. It's another 10 years or so until they mandate all cars on the road must be EVs. By then batteries will be better, and prices will come down... except for inflation that is. Also... this is worldwide, not just Canada.

@@michaelbinbc We're not exactly seeing that. The 2022 Ioniq 5 is a new EV and yet the cost of the battery is so high partly because every battery is a custom job for the vehicle it fits into. This is where I want governance to come in and say "hey let's fix this problem now". Think ahead to the year 2030. I would love to see people driving Ioniq 5s from model year 2022 and say, "hey maintenance is a breeze, I love my old Ioniq 5, it keeps running." If you are an early adopter today, you expect that for at least a 5-6 year horizon.

@@porusmehta2807 2022? The warranty is 10 years or 100,000km. That's another 9 years on that warranty dude. Also, the vehicle in this story is the 2022 Ionic 5. The guy was originally quoted $30K by the dealership in Richmond, but he would have had it for free if the car wasn't damaged, voiding the warranty. It wasn't until ICBC got involved that it became $60K, at the Vancouver dealership. Somebody's scamming somewhere. Also, Hyundai seems to be expensive for batteries in general... Tesla only charges $5-20K. Out of warranty that is.

After the Motormouth video I looked at various manufacturers videos about EVs and in most of them the batteries looked to be 8 or ten modules in one big casing.

Get a Hybrid! Most electric vehicle batteries have an estimated 1500 to 2000 charge cycles, if you charge 1-2 times a day your battery might last 4 maybe 5 years at best. If you drive a lot then you'll need a new battery every 2-3 years. A plan designed to fail!

How much is it to replace the battery in a Tesla?

Batteries in these Chinese 🇨🇳 electric cars come from the Xinjiang region, where they are produced by: - coal-fired plants and - Uyghur forced labor in their production.

I bet you're happy your EV is under warranty incase a problem arises with the traction motor battery. Then their authorised service agent will tell you the fault must've been caused by your incorrect charging procedure which isn't covered at all under the terms of the warranty. Then they'll advise you of their charging procedure which will be $20,000 plus dollars plus the cost of installation on top of that amount.

Don't buy an EV no matter what.

Hybrid makes more cent sense.

Remember, insurances is gonna cost more for EVs than ICE vehicles.

We will all be driving horse-and-buggy again by 2035. The average middle-class family won't be able to afford to support an EV unless they are extremely lucky with accidents, road damage (our transportation infrastructure is a joke), or any miscellaneous non-warranty repair. With the battery replacement costs being so high the used car market will most likely disappear, too, you'll have to buy a new vehicle every 4-5 years. It's like if you had to replace the drivetrain in a car to resell it. Trudeau/Guilbeault have given carte blanche to auto manufacturers to fleece the public and backed them with taxpayer money to help them do it.

Just "subscribe" to an electric vehicle then.
