[GeekEV]

How else would Nissan sell you a part to repair your car?.. thru the dealership auto parts dept..

There's plenty of third party auto parts sellers, especially online - even for OEM parts.

Take away from the video:

1) 10 Year expected overall life for battery pack
2) 5 Years at 12,000 miles/year - 80% capacity remaining and
3) Nissan doesn't expect to replace the whole pack, just a few modules at hundreds of dollars per module rather than thousands for a whole pack
