How Much Does It Cost To A Replace Battery For An Electric Car?

Let's say that this is true. Who in their right mind would pay even $1000 for a battery??

With the price of gasoline and extra maintainence on a car with internal combustion, the thought of going 8 years on a $1,000 battery start looking better every day. With Nissan that 8 years is under warranty, so it's free if it fails early. That doesn't even consider the battery will increase in effeciency just like cars have over the years.

I don't see how anybody would want to purchase an Electric Car.  It seems to be too many draw backs with the purchase.
