Replacing a battery in a petrol or diesel car is somewhat cheaper than replacing one or more batteries in an electric powered car.
It Is, but you would have to factor in the fuel savings over 6 years( and its more likely to be 10 or 15 years).

For someone doing average miles,and charging at home,I would put that at somewhere around 2 grand a year
