12V Auxiliary Battery Failure

The 12V battery powers vehicle electronics when the main traction battery is off. It has a finite lifespan and can fail, preventing the car from starting or operating auxiliary systems. Estimated repair cost: $200 - $400.

Even with regenerative braking, the physical brake system requires periodic inspection and fluid changes to maintain performance and prevent corrosion. Estimated repair cost: $100 - $180 (Fluid Flush).
