The price of a replacement LEAF battery currently hovers around $3,500-$4,500 for the 30 kWh battery, and $3,000-$5,000 for the 24 kWh battery. We’re not 100% sure why these are still so expensive; it’s possible that since Nissan doesn’t use them anymore, scarcity may be driving up the price. These replacement batteries won’t be new; most 24 kWh and 30 kWh replacements are either going to be gently used (salvage) or refurbished Nissan LEAF batteries.
Nissan is currently using two larger battery packs in the LEAF: the 40 kWh pack and the 62 kWh pack. You can expect replacement costs for these packs at about $6,500-$7,500 for the 40 kWh battery and $8,500-$9,500 for the 62 kWh LEAF battery.
Since the 60 kWh pack is new and has actual changes to battery chemistry from previous versions, all we can do is guess at the price. But likely a replacement for the 60 kWh pack would cost somewhere between $10,000 and $15,000.
Labor for battery work like this may cost around $1,000, so a full replacement for a Nissan Leaf battery could cost anywhere from $4,500-$16,000 depending on the pack size and manufacturing year of the replacement.
