Trivial, no, but doable by someone who's not a professional mechanic (e.g. me :-)), and for not a lot of money.

Of course, battery prices are much higher than engine prices at the moment...
Yes, that's my point. A new battery pack is not something that most used car owners would even think of purchasing, because it's cheaper just to buy another car. Of course that changes if the price drops by a factor of 10 or so, but that's a pretty big if.
