Nissan Leaf Battery Replacement Alternative To Dealer?

[Durian Fiend]

My 2 cents:
1) the Leaf is 10 years old.  I didn’t think a 10 year old car was worth more than a $5000 or so to repair/upgrade.  It runs fine, has good acceleration. We make short trips so works great as a second or third car...

IMO it's worth it to keep the old Leaf going indefinitely, especially if the primary reason for owning an EV is environmental concerns.   Financially it doesn't seem like such a bad deal either.  There's very little to go wrong with an EV compared to a ICE vehicle.  No starter, alternator, exhaust, cooling system and so on to worry about failing.  Brakes and steering is about it, right?

Battery disposal/repurposing is certainly a valid problem and issue to be addressed for these vehicles.
