Hi all

Anyone leasing battery in there LEAF?

If so could you share with me your excess mileage cost.

Cheers

So I think there are 2 parts to this. The excess mileage on the actual 'car' and then the excess mileage on the 'battery' itself.

So my car excess mileage is £.10 per mile ( inc VAT )
So my battery excess mileage is £0.08 for every 60 miles or part thereof

Hope this helps!

I'm in the same boat as IanT and I think they are standard charges. With our trade-in and the price I was paying for diesel it worked out to be a no-brainer doing it this way compared to buying the whole thing... and I'll swap or trade it in at the end.

Thanks all, so this is my story,

I bought the car outright with a work incentive, so I only lease my battery with Nissan. So if I do 10000 miles over my contract it's only £13.00?????

10000 / 60 x £0.08 = £13.00? Can that be right????? Seems so cheap!

 

[IanT]

Cheap = Good

Another reason to drive an EV.

seems about right. The RCI finance contract for my PCP agreement states an excess mileage charge of 1 pence per mile. If I went 20k over my mileage allowance (which is looking increasingly likely as I've already done over 6k in 2 months) it'll cost my company 200 quid.

 

[IanT]

That's for your battery excess? Then there is the excess on the actually car which is for me 10p per mile. So if I went 20k over mileage ( not planning to do ) the car excess would be £2,000

My car has a higher mileage than the battery, as I thought I SHOULD keep inside the limits, but if I go over I'd rather only pay one lot of excesses, which are incredibly cheap really.

My RCI contract has a 10p/mile excess. Are you sure yours is 1p?

 

[cjm_2013]

Yep. It actually says £0.01 per mile. I'll double check tonight.

 

[Darren Griffin]

Nice!

 

[cjm_2013]

0.1 pence....!

 

[Darren Griffin]

Now that's a bargain! I'm limited to 10k miles p.a. and I've done 400 in the first week!

 

[IanT]

Is this via RCI finance? The only reason I ask is my paperwork is different and so just thought your deal might be via a different company, etc

 

[cjm_2013]

I don't know if it's because I bought ex demo? Or if they've adjusted the excess to account for the negligible wear and tear?

 

[Darren Griffin]

My lease is with RCI and paperwork is the same, save for the excess charge! I'm guessing that the lower excess is payoff for having a higher annual allowance?
