The electric cars in this photograph were abandoned in China, not France. Further, the vehicles were abandoned by an electric car-sharing company because of a lack of customer demand. There's no indication the matter had anything to do with battery costs.
The cars in the picture belonged to an electric car-sharing company that was named Microcity. Thousands of their Kandi-brand vehicles hit the streets in 2013. However, The Observers reported that there wasn’t enough demand for their business. The company went bankrupt in 2019. There’s no data to show that EV battery replacement costs had anything to do with the reason the cars were abandoned.
