2012 Leaf 24kwh battery had a list price of $12,000, 2022 Bolt 64kwh battery had a list price of $12,400, with inflation you get a battery that costs less and with about triple the range.
That’s how technology works, VCRs were $1000 when they came out, $399 for a dvd player.
A New 24 kWh pack from the Nissan parts department is still around $10,000. Just the part. No markup or I stall labor.
Even the cheapest aftermarket, assembled 40 kWh Leaf battery that is US based is still a minimum of $13,000 installed.
I haven’t priced a 62 kWh Nissan pack at the dealership yet, but my guess is it is closer to $19,000?
If I can walk into the Chevy parts department and buy a 64 kWh pack for only $12,400 I’d be (happily) surprised. Because that doesn’t sound near what my shop was previously quoted. Maybe I’ll have to check tomorrow and report back.
