When buying an EV, what do you want to do with the batteries?

Own them outright and suffer the financial burden when the manufacturer charges you extortionate prices to replace them

Pay a 'maintenence' charge in the form of a monthly rental to ensure the batteries are at maximum performance and health all the time.

Rent the car and the batteries, leaving it all to the manufacturer (but remember what happened to the EV1!)

Own them outright, but try to do a DIY replacement (perhaps with different technology) when the originals die.

Pay someone to service them and keep an eye on them, but own them yourself.

Tricky Subject...

Experinced EV peeps will find their own way.


Leasing the whole car - could be viable comercial proposition

- so u want cheap transport and to try out being green -

Sales Pitch...
lease one of our 4 wheeled electric ultralight bangers and see how u get on

you need a good credit rating and 500 deposit - and say 200 per month all in - plus insurance 25 per month


would that do it for you? ????????



-------------------------------------

Leasing Batteries Only could work

I guess you want to save time and improve your cashflow and deal with waste disposal at the same time


£ 1000 pack of batteries 20 month life span = 50 per month + taxes + shiping + profits

prolly looking at £100 per month


that sound good too you??????????
