Leaf battery upgrade can accept a 24, 30, or 40-kWh pack. The 62kWh batteries are not recommended due to the limits of the onboard charger.
Battery installations and upgrade prices depend on several factors, including the vehicle year, donor battery health, year of the donor battery, market rates, and more. Here are some rough estimates of the cost:
  • 24 kWh Battery: $4,000-$6,500
  • 30 kWh Battery: $5,000-$8,000
  • 40 kWh Battery: $8,000-$12,500
