    Does anyone know what a set of batteries cost? We were having a discussion and someone said it was over $6000.

    About $3000 installed through the dealer,
    or around $700 lightly used, plus install costs of $250 - $750.

    I like to round the cost up to: less than a transmission for the poor sod arguing with me. ;-)

    The illustration shows all the cells and the metal case / shell as well.

    I would think so. Having to replace the Battery ECU and relays etc. would add quite a bit to the cost for no real reason.

    Ebay has buy-it-now for $550 from a vendor in CA with four in stock. Maybe PHEV is coming to my driveway sooner than I thought :)
