Battery Dies After Family Buys Used Electric Car — Replacement Costs More than Car’s Value.

Battery dies in vehicle purchased for $11,000 - Ford says they'll replace battery for $14,000.

No one said going green would be cheap -- or fair.

The Siwinski family thought they were doing something good for the environment when they purchased 17-year-old Avery her first vehicle, an electric 2014 Ford Focus.

However, within 6 months the car’s battery died, and Ford no longer produces replacement batteries.

When her grandfather looked into replacing the battery, Ford service technicians told them they could do it – for $14,000, plus installation fees.

The car was initially purchased by the Siwinskis for $11,000.

Adding insult to injury, the local Ford dealership said they’d take the car off their hands for a measly $500.

“If you’re buying a new one you have to realize there is no secondhand market out there, because the manufacturers aren’t supporting the cars,”
