Batteries? Assuming a $150/kwh cost for batteries, that would be $14,700 for a 98 kwh pack, or $19,650 for a 131 kwh pack. I think the rumor is that GM is hoping to hit ~$100 for their batteries in 2025. It will be a game changer on

Back when the Leaf was eligible for the $7,500 federal rebate, that accounted for a pretty big chunk of the depreciation for the lower trims. MSRP was in the $28,500 neighborhood. Minus $7,500, leaves you at $21,000. Or 26% hit the day y
