Things seem to be moving fast in terms of battery prices - we go from articles like this one three years ago:

£19k to just over £3k - those second-hand Leaves are looking more tempting than ever.

Yes, this is significant.
There have been many Leaf owner reports from hot parts of the US (Arizona for example) about significant Leaf battery degradation. Much less of an issue in the UK. My Leaf has 45,000 miles and the battery seems fine.
The new battery is also much more resistant to extreme ambient temperatures, so this is a double win.

Hopefully a similar program will be introduced in the UK to make high mileage Leafs a more attractive proposition.
