Thanks to Tesla, shaking up the EV market: I'm sure the value of my used Nissan Leaf dropped with several € 1000 in a month. However the same is true for 62kWh Leaf's.
So I just did a search on a Dutch used car website: the cheapest 62kWh I could find was € € 22.400 totally. Muxsan in the Netherlands charges € 10.490 for a 40kWh pack. And € 15.490 for a 62kWh pack!
Doesn't this hurt a lot for all the people who went ahead, and had a battery extender placed? One of these battery extenders, recently caught fire in the Netherlands. I wouldn't even consider it, but also the investment is a lot. A 22kWh extender sets you back €10.990 and you will have to deal, with a company who is know of providing bad aftersales ( see Google reviews).
Now I won't go ahead and waste my money: I just have mine 40kWh Tekna for 4 months, and still have some issues to solve with Nissan dealership I bought it from. Believe me: Dutch people are sloppy, can't even replace a windshield properly. And they damaged my car interior in the process.... so that's the source of my frustration.
And I hadn't bought it in the first place, if they told me it was involved in an accident. By putting green license plates, they covered up the damaged license plate. Ah well.... since sometimes the range isn't enough, it got me thinking to change to a 62kWh on some point.
Now obviously isn't the right time: unless I would get a good deal, which is unlikely now that the value of our Leaf's dropped so much. But still € 22.000 for a 62kWh Leaf? Ofcourse I won't buy a N Connecta, it should be a Tekna atleast!
Or perhaps an 3 Zero limited edition: but I guess, the longer I wait, the cheaper they get. I just also found a 3 Zero limited edition for € 21950 totally. And obviously, I won't make the same mistake again to buy a Leaf without checking Leafspy.
But my point being is: buying an 62kWh Leaf second hand, is cheaper than investing in a battery extender. Or replacing the battery, and that aren't even new ones. Those batteries come from Leaf's involved in accidents for example. Because Nissan doesn't sell any of these batteries, to third parties like Muxsan.
