I read that Nissan would only "rent" replacement batteries for the Leaf. They would not allow you to buy it. The cost as I read was $100 month!!! You have to pay this forever.
This may be in violation of the act which demands that manufactures provide replacement parts.
In any case, it is complete greed by Nissan. It destroys the economical reasons for having an electric car. :evil:
I hope 3rd parties see the opportunity to supply batteries to Leaf owners. Maybe even junk yards will sell replacement cells.
Any other thoughts?
