Some insurers are forced to scrap whole electric vehicles if their batteries are scratched or slightly damaged as they lack reparability and cost as much as 50% of the total vehicle.

DEPENDING IN THE CAR, EV batteries can be opened up and have individual cells tested and replaced. I know this can be done with most Teslas. Not sure about other brands.

Ev cars are still fairly early in development, and until we have a battery revolution, things are the prettiest. I still say that in the case you have power generation outside the grid, EVs may be of use. I DO NOT recommend them for the average user.
