Yeah, something like 2K just for the core battery on a 10 year old prius and that doesn't include rlabour, freight or core charge outs and time that the car is off the road. Some of the EV's run packs that can only be taken apart by outfits with specific and expensive equipment to pull, replace and balance the replacement cell/battery units in the main pack. Probably there are people working on a 'better' way to do it...
On the other hand, there's nothing really too dodgy in the hybrid battery packs if you are aware of what the F you are doing and safe the thing properly prior to throwing your attached bits into the circuit. Problem is I guess a lot of private people probably aren't aware of just how much go is in those things if you short them with yourself!
