I can imagine that as the EV car saturation develops in the next few years, New electric cars will go up in price. Even If not by a lot, the new EVs will go up in price due to ... the federal and state tax credits will disappear. Then, all of a sudden, all Leafs will suddenly be worth $5-7K more, and it WILL BE WORTH IT TO CHANGE THE BATTERIES...
That is when the true value of having a Leaf will be seen. At this time, people are spoiled in that they can by a PRACTICALLY NEW CAR for $6-9K, and are complaining that a $5000 battery is worth scrapping the car.. Yet, in the regular used car market, people dump $10-15K on a used car (no warranty) like nothing!! Man, no matter how good we have it, we still think we are getting a bad deal..
