When you say barely budged, I'm curious whether this is in nominal or real terms. e.g. I think a battery costing $10k in 2024 would be around $7k in 2011 dollar

When you say barely budged, I'm curious whether this is in nominal or real terms. e.g. I think a battery costing $10k in 2024 would be around $7k in 2011 dollars. So, if it was $10k in 2011 and it's still $10k, thats about $4k cheaper than it would have been had it kept pace with inflation.
- mikestew 3y agoFair question; inflation-adjusted ballpark number that I pulled out of my butt because I'm not about to go look up hard numbers. But, yes, twelve years later the replacement battery was higher than, say, a few years after we bought ours (2011). Whether the price paced with inflation, I cannot say. Additionally, as another commenter points out, one might choose to go to a Nissan dealership for this replacement. Except, much like that other commenter, Nissan dealers are why we bought a Hyundai when we went to go get another electric car. Because we loved the Leaf, but Nissan dealerships still have everything you "love" about dealing with dealerships.
