What ever happened to the battery warranty? David Kerzel -----Original Message----- From: EV [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of brucedp5 via EV Sent: Tuesday, May 23, 2017 2:21 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [EVDL] EVLN: Low-mileage Leaf EV glut
-see if it's worthwhile to replace the battery for $5500- [Those with experience & knowledge encouraged to give corrections, comments,+] The cost of a $5k replacement pack + the cost of the dealership's tack on cost$. What price are there for Leaf EVs? http://www.iseecars.com/used_cars-t5989-used-nissan-leaf-for-sale#Location=4 5701&Radius=all&Make=Nissan&Model=LEAF&Condition=used&_t=a&maxResults=15&sor t=Price&sortOrder=asc&lfc_t0=MTQ5NTUxODI0NzA4OQ%3D%3D (I used an Ohio zip code on a nation wide search) It looks like there are a lot more Leaf EVs on the west coast (like Cal said). Looks like the duck hunter would need to go to where the ducks are to bag their game. But once they have, they'll need to ship it home. https://www.uship.com/shipping-calculator.aspx (I entered a 2013 Leaf from 94041 google-ville/facebook-land to that OH zip, which gave : ) We estimate that it will cost $1263.00 to ship your items 2550.2 miles to Athens, Ohio. So, whatever bargain Cal or Lee would find, they would need to tack on ~$1.3k to get it home. Then what to do with the ol' Leaf with the lesser range. Well there likely is an ol' duffer (like myself) near them that does not drive much anymore (only to and from: store, hospital, etc.) that could still use that leaf with the lesser range. Or, if we could walk Cor through a cloning booth and plant a Cor (Leaf refurbishing pack guru) clone in each state, then the replacing of Cal's or Lee's old tired pack would be less than $5k? This is why it key to have what good EV deeds (like Cor) are doing well documented on the internet. Then others can learn from what Cor is and has done, keeping all good and safe practices in mind. Other sources for that info I would not be so sure about (old, dated, unsafe, lets the smoke out, etc.) http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthread.php/taking-apart-nissan-leaf-battery-f un-profit-31595.html Which ever person around the county wants to do what Cor is doing, would need a source of Leaf packs (salvage, wrecks, +) https://www.google.com/search?q=damaged+nissan+leaf+for+sale https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuAXcZmLNmM The Joker: Where does he get those wonderful toys? It probably is a lot of skill and diligence work to find those good leaf packs that will have the goodies (good cells) he is after to refurb a Leaf pack (not like something just anyone can or should do?). So, as Leaf EVs become cheaper and cheaper, will salvage yard offer packs cheaper and cheaper? Will we also see more and more DIY mods happening to Leaf EVs, like making a short truck or panel van out of Leaf (something Nissan should have done long ago), etc. ?Any thoughts?
