Yes, not only can you can get a new battery for your 2014
Nissan Leaf
, you can get a more powerful one than it originally came with.
The 2014 Leaf was outfitted with a 24-kWh lithium-ion battery—the same battery that the very first Leaf model sported back in 2010. The average life of a Nissan Leaf battery is 10–15 years, so if you haven’t serviced the battery on your 2014 model, you’re likely starting to see a little bit of degeneration.
The good news is Nissan has increased the battery size of the Leaf over the years—40 kWh is now the standard. So, you can get a replacement battery that’s even better than your initial power pack. This can be done through your Nissan dealership or you can get an aftermarket battery upgrade.
The bad news is, your 2014 Nissan had a five-year battery warranty, so your replacement won’t be covered as your warranty lapsed in 2019. That means you’ll be on the hook for the whole $7,500-ish cost of your Nissan Leaf battery replacement.
