How does a battery lease work?
Some vehicles are sold with their battery included, and for some the battery will have to be leased. Essentially, with a battery lease, you are paying a monthly fee to rent just the battery portion of the electric car from the manufacturer. You own the car itself, but not the battery pack inside it.
How much does a battery lease cost?
Don't worry, while it may sound complicated, a battery lease is actually pretty straightforward! When purchasing an EV that requires a battery lease, you'll sign an agreement that legally separates the battery from the vehicle's ownership. You'll then pay a fixed monthly rate, usually between 50€-150€ per month, for an agreed-upon number of years.
How long does a battery lease last?
Long-term commitment - Battery lease terms usually last 8-10 years, which means you'll need to convince your clients to go into this long-term commitment. However, companies like Renault also introduced the possibility to pay the battery off in full, so you can use this in your sales pitch.
We have just had a notification through from Nissan to say that customers are now able to buy themselves out of the battery rental on a Flex agreement, and terminate the lease agreement. If a customer decides they wish to purchase the battery they will need to visit a Nissan dealership, and provide the VIN number.
Renault offers various battery lease packages depending on the annual mileage. For example, the Z.E. Flex package starts at 69 euros (for 7,500 km per year), at 114 euros per month (for 17,500 km per year) and the Z.E. Relax package offers unlimited mileage for 124 euros per month. Some of Renault's battery lease packages are:
Can you get out of a car lease deal?
Let's look at some of the possible scenarios under which you might want to get out of your car lease deal: 1. You just signed but have not taken possession of your car. In most states, if you have not taken possession of a new car in a purchase or lease, the deal isn't complete and can be reversed. That's easily said, but harder to make happen.
