Can they put a newer battery in the 1st Gen (Jan 2011) Leaf?
Approx. how much would it cost?
If not can it be repaired (to fix range down to 45 mi)?
I heard of a mechanic that claims that he can do both, I don't have any references
Is this possible?
Also - since the car is 11-12 years old, if I replace the battery with a new one. What other costly car issues does this (EV) car normally have (i.e. OK with up keep and minor repairs, but don't want to have a money pit with other large repairs to be expected)
