Don't you think that depends on the owner's needs? For $5500, you get
your range restored to, say, 80 miles at best. If you really need that
for your normal usage, it's probably worth it.
However, if someone, for $10K can make a replacement battery that gives
you even 150 miles range, now you have a much more useful EV. The bolt
will set you back at least $30K. Even if you could sell your Leaf for
$10K, you'd still be looking at net $10K more for the Bolt.
So, it comes to this:
$5K - restore to 80 miles range
$10K - restore to 150 miles range
$20K - new bolt.

With a guaranteed 55 hundred dollar battery by Nissan I don't see any
waste happening if you keep your car in good cosmetic shape.. I do see
dinged up and funky cars being tossed. Now well maintained cars why
bother junking them. It will be a matter of supply and demand. Is
that 55 hundred dollars worth keeping a car on the road. Lawrence
