just looking at getting a Zoe and weighing up battery purchase vs lease. Does anyone know the lease cost, I’ve seen a Renault press release saying they’ve reduced the minimum cost to £25 but can’t find anything else about it online. Cheers
No, I think they stopped leasing them in 2021. I’m looking at a second hand one so the battery lease would be transferred to me. Apparently that’s fairly standard procedure for Renaults with lease batteries.Brand new Zoes do not have a battery lease option?
The New ZOE will be offered in the UK exclusively with the ‘Full Purchase’ option that includes the battery and therefore has no monthly battery lease payments. The ‘Battery Lease’ option will no longer be available in the UK. This is as a result of the significantly improved class-leading residual values, which enable a more competitive full purchase price and customer offer.
The offer of only a Full Purchase option simplifies the choice for customers and is in line with the rest of the Renault Z.E. range and the UK electric vehicle market. As more consumers choose electric cars in the UK, residual values of full-electric vehicles have improved considerably, with the ZOE at the forefront of this trend, meaning they are more affordable than ever. One of the main reasons that the battery lease option was initially introduced was to lower the initial purchase price of a Renault EV to be as close as possible to that of an equivalent diesel vehicle, in line with Renault’s aim of Sustainable Mobility For All. The recent improvements to the RV on the New ZOE in the UK mean that this financial gap has now been reduced and we are able to offer a simplified choice to consumers.
