Florida family drives into electric car problem: a replacement battery costs more than vehicle itself

The Florida family found out a replacement for the electric car’s battery would cost thousands

A family in Florida drove into a major problem after buying a used electric vehicle: the replacement battery for their dead car wound up costing more than the used car was purchased for.

Avery Siwinski is a 17-year-old who’s parents spent $11,000 on a used Ford Focus Electric car, which is a 2014 model and had about 60,000 miles when it was bought, according to KVUE.

The teenager had the car for six months before it began giving her issues and the dashboard was flashing symbols.

“It was fine at first,” Siwinski said. “I loved it so much. It was small and quiet and cute. And all the sudden it stopped working.”

  1. The same thing happened to my neighbor. She got rid of the car and is driving a gas car now. She said that replacement battery for her electric vehicle would have cost $ 7,000.
