As James said why do you care about the battery cost?
Because people then try to draw analogies about the cost of the rest of the car off fictional data.
That "battery" price is for owner replacement just like 1st gen volt.
You will likely never be able to buy a bolt battery off the shelf of a local Chevy dealer.
The overall price of the entire LG bolt package is much higher than the subsidized cost of the out of warranty replacement fee for a battery.
That boutique cost matters because you will find the price for the rest of the car is well under 10k when you subtract the lg costs out.
