This is a Motormouth couple car video discussing the cost to replace the battery in 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5. After finding out that his battery protection cover was scratched, the owner was told the battery needed to be replace for more than he paid for the car brand new. Over $60,000, so he decided to make a claim on his insurance and have the car written off. This is a cautionary tale to not only EV owners and potential owners but also other manufacturrers, that these kinds of casts are out much more than consumers are expecting to pay. Hyundai Canada was eventually notified to the customers concerns but only after the car had been written off by the insurer. Watch this story and decide for yourself.
