## How the index works

**Per kWh** is the midpoint of the published replacement quotes for that model divided by the midpoint of its published pack sizes, so it compares a Leaf and a Model S on the same footing. Quotes differ in what they include (labor, core credit, dealer or independent shop); each model's page lists every quote, its year and its source. Where no replacement price has been published we leave it blank rather than estimate.

**Used module, eBay** is the median Buy It Now price including shipping, divided by the energy stated in the listing (kWh, or volts × amp-hours), for single modules or packs listed in the US, checked 2026-11-11. Lots, cells, parts-only and "for parts" listings are excluded. A used module is a repair part for a pack that has one weak module, not a like-for-like replacement for a whole new pack.

Figures are as published by the cited sources; check with a dealer or EV battery shop before you decide. eBay links are affiliate links; we may earn a commission.
