How much does it cost to replace a Chevrolet Volt battery?
Published quotes for a new Chevrolet Volt battery run $4,000 to $30,842. That is about $960 per kWh of pack, #12 cheapest of the models we track.

Besides a new pack ($4,000+), the cited options are a used pack from $3,000 (recurrentauto.com), a remanufactured pack from $7,000 (thedrive.com). A single module fixes a pack with one weak module; it does not restore a worn pack.
