Honestly, if your Leaf’s main daily activity is impersonating a Moai statue and occasionally musters the will to beep, you’re probably edging into “battery transplant or bust” territory. Before splashing out on a replacement pack (which, let’s be honest, costs more than your car’s current blue book value), check if local shops do refurbishments or if Nissan’s battery warranty fairy still exists for your year. Otherwise, lean in, enjoy the apocalypse-proof heater, and start test-driving modern EVs that treat range as something less theoretical.
