This is going to be an increasingly big problem. Someone always pops in to let me know that battery prices are coming down, but they're never going to be cheap enough for the people that need used cars. The person buying a $10k for a used leaf can't afford an inevitable $11k battery.

This isn’t an EV problem, it’s an early Leaf problem.
