I can buy a used Leaf pack locally for $3000. That's $125/kwh. Of course there's no telling what level of charge ability the pack has remaining until tested. I have seen wrecked Leafs go for around $2000 on auction sites. But then you'd have to transport the car, pull the pack, and get rid of the rest of the vehicle. On the other hand if you were doing a conversion and the motor was still intact you could swap out the Leaf parts into your own build. JJ
