Nothing new for a bargain-bin Leaf however, but a quick read.

For EVs with dying batteries, the new HV pack cost should be factored into the vehicle price, which for a Nissan Leaf would be around $5k.

It’s the same thing for houses in Scotland (possibly the UK).
If a home report (ie your commissioned building survey of the property you purchase) turns up defects, these can be negotiated as a reduction against the amount paid.
I think governments should implement similar laws. A free (or at the manufacturers expense) appraisal WRT battery life, which reduces the sale price by the refurb cost or wear&tear on the batteries.
If the refurb/wear cost is more than the resale value (essential, the vehicle is “written off”), then the vehicle is taken for scrap value (as if it was ICE).
The car can then be properly recycled, refurbished, decommissioned, whatever… and sold on
