Everyone knows an electric vehicle needs its battery replaced from time to time, but the market is full of brands of every kind and endless promotions. How can you buy a good battery? How much does it usually cost? These questions puzzle many consumers. Here Xupai explains electric vehicle battery prices and the points to watch when buying.

1. Electric vehicle battery price

Electric vehicle batteries are sold by the set; a set usually contains four batteries for one vehicle. The price is closely tied to factors such as quality and brand. Take Xupai batteries, known for good quality and good after-sales service, as an example: the wholesale price of a Xupai 12AH set is around 350 yuan, and a 20AH set is around 500 yuan (with a one-year warranty). Xupai batteries generally last about three years, with a clear improvement in driving range and service life compared with other batteries on the market.

2. Points to watch

1. Whether the battery exterior is intact

A genuine new electric vehicle battery follows standard specifications, without scratches, deformation, cracks, or leakage. If the battery you are choosing shows such marks, it means it is not new, so consumers should be careful.

2. Whether the packing box carries words like non-sale item

Batteries marked as non-sale items are usually maintenance or turnover batteries for after-sales use, not new batteries.

3. Whether it pollutes the environment

Take battery pollution seriously. It is best to buy and use low-pollution cadmium-free batteries to keep harmful substances away from the body. Used batteries should be handed in at designated recycling stations rather than thrown away at random, so as not to pollute the environment and the food chain.

Many brands and manufacturers now sell electric vehicle batteries, and prices differ from one to another. So when buying, always value the quality of the battery.
