It's included in the price of the car which makes the car pricey but you can lease both instead.
"The lithium battery pack is included in the price of your Leaf. It is guaranteed for eight years, although Nissan reckons it should have a useful life of ten years. Replacing it out of warranty will cost £5,000, but you’ll get £1,000 back if you trade in the old one."

Costs will inevitably come down as electric cars go mainstream but the way people buy transport will change in 23 years' time with self-driving vehicles. Like music and films, people may well start paying monthly subscriptions for access and not upfront for ownership. Diesel and electric cars will become the Virgin Megastores and Blockbuster Video of the highways.
