Now you’re comparing used cars to a new car.

Or do you buy $11k new cars?

No, I'm comparing two used cars to the cost of an EV battery replacement. Also, I was generously rounding up the cost of the two cars. My total was actually $12,200. $9k for a 2006 Subaru Forester and $3,200 for a 1992 Miata.
