That is the exact math that came to my mind. I would not pay more than $4000, if that.joeriv said:How much would you pay for this car with a new battery? Let's say $10,000 - subtract new battery cost and the car is worth $4,000.
My expectation is that when my car gets down to that range, I will sell it for a token amount to someone who just wants their kid to be able to drive a few miles to school and back, or some role like that. I'll probably look for a newer used EV rather than replace the battery.
