The Leaf has an active forum and I am sure the price, probably over $5K is there.

Shouldn’t it be under warranty though?

$5,500: ~2000 gallons X 30mpg = 60,000 miles.  
I’ve done calculations on various types of rechargeable batteries and in all cases  
the battery (cells only) costs more than the electricity to recharge over the battery’s life.

The battery is warranted for 8 years/100,000 miles. Why are you asking?

Doorman sells a remanufactured battery for around $2100. Many larger towns now have shops that specialize in refurbishing batteries, so it might be possible to pay even less.
