EV battery pack replacement is something that certain ev workshops carry out. I think a popular one is called peak autos or something. Robert Llewellyn used them to replace his battery pack in his leaf.
Not cheap by any means, in the long term, I do wonder if ownership of a car will become less desirable and leasing will become more popular, especially if costs of battery packs increase due to the associated technology with increased ranges and faster charging times. If leasing companies or battery packs and the car itself can be returned after say 3 years by which time the battery health may have dropped slightly, the person leasing simply returns the car for a newer model, saving the expense of battery replacement..
