To say that consumers have been waiting on a hard and firm pricing for a replacement 24 kWh battery pack in the Nissan LEAF (or any plug-in really for that matter) would be an understatement.
Well, wonder no longer as $5,499 plus the turn-in of your old pack (which Nissan values at $1,000) nets you a new “2015 spec” battery replacement.
Using $6,499 as a full MSRP on the pack means Nissan is putting a price of $270/kWh on the cells.
That retail price per kWh would seem to prove the notion that automotive-specific/larger cell application, while costlier to develop at first, is now paying dividends in volume production.
Also as part of that replacement, Brian Brockman (Sr Manager) from Nissan says the new pack has the much anticipate new 2015 “lizard” battery, more able to take extreme heat.
