Thanks for the corrections. Yes, I had noticed that belt replacement is not on the LEAF service schedule.
There have many threads on the subject of why the 2011's didn't have a heat pump in the first place, going back over ~three years, and I was just working on memory, that one explanation was that much of the 2011-12 AC system was out of the parts bin, and I could well be wrong about that, as well.
IIRC stands for too lazy to do a search...
Off topic edit.
Well, you made me look.
Common parts number seemed to indicate it at least one (hybrid) ICEV has the same compressor.

And I would say ~$700 is pretty cheap, about what I was quoted for my 95 dodge, about 10 years ago,

="dm33"...A bit O/T, but why would a manufacturer need to use an electric A/C compressor in a pure ICEV? And what Nissan models would use such a unit besides the Leaf and maybe a hybrid like the Infiniti M Hybrid?
+1. I was going to make the same point, particularly since the A/C compressor in the LEAF runs off 400 VDC! Simply put, most ICE vehicles do not have enough electricity available to run the A/C compressor. That is the reason why they are run from the engine via an accessory belt.Thanks for the corrections.
