Battery replacements after the initial warranty period are often uneconomical in the same way engine replacements are uneconomical after the initial warranty period. And in both cases, there are historical accounts of the components lasting well beyond their expected lifetime as well as dying fairly quickly after the warranty runs out.

...Okay? These quotes were when Hyundai decided that the warranty did not cover supposed damage to the batteries. But either way, unwarrantied battery replacement costs of 60k CAD is obscene. On an otherwise new Tesla, a 15-20k (USD) replacement would still be economic but the Ioniq 5 is just going to be "totaled".
