Nissan accidentally leaked their battery cost for the Leaf, $140/kwh. But they don't do cooling so their batteries die twice as fast as they have to ... Panaso

  Our 2015 model year Leaf has not had any observable loss of range, FWIW.

    Apparently they had a reformulated chemistry, that might help. However, I think the climate you live in has a profound effect: http://www.electricvehiclewiki.com/wiki/battery-capacity-loss/ http://www.electricvehiclewiki.com/wiki/battery-capacity-los... scroll down to the battery aging table depending on location. If you live in Juneau, Alaska you're probably good for a while. Maybe taking steps like not charging to 100% and not discharging below 20% will help.
