Brian Brockman, Senior Manager, Corporate Communications announced today the manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) of $5,499 for a LEAF replacement battery that will fit in all LEAFs released to date. An installation kit will be needed for 2011 and 2012 models and the price requires the return of the original LEAF battery pack, for which Nissan is providing a $1,000 credit, included in the above price. The installation kit will cost about $225 and installation time is expected to be three hours. 2013 through 2015 models will not require the installation kit. With an hourly labor rate of about $100, let’s call it $6,000. We’ll take a look at some of the financial perspectives in a moment.
