Hi,
I urgently need some one's advice. My 2018 Leaf got in accident recently and Insurance has decided to total it. I replaced the HV Battery Pack recently on Aug 2024. With the new battery pack, I was getting 160 miles on full charge (though it has published range of 150 miles). I just drove 4k before accident. Its practically like a new car. The accident did not damage Battery pack.
But the insurance company just going by year and miles on car to get the fair market value and they decided to total the car.
They said, i need to provide proof that the EV car with new battery significantly increases the car value.
How and from where can we get this kind of proof?. It seems its upon consumers to find the any car listed with new battery pack with higher value. I could not find any.
Any suggestions from fellow members?
