Ontario man told his EV needs $33K battery. Software update fixes the problem

An Ontario man said he couldn’t believe an electric car he bought three years ago for $20,000 would need a new battery at a cost of more than $33,000.

“They called me to say I needed a new battery, but I actually felt sick, bewildered, perplexed that the battery could cost that much,” said Charles Jakl of East Garafraxa, near Orangeville.
