Why do some electric cars come with battery leasing?
For carmakers, most of whom are French, battery leasing makes electric cars more accessible to the general public.
With a reduced acquisition cost when purchasing a battery leased vehicle, carmakers can attract people who are still hesitant about electric vehicles. In fact, the electric battery represents between €4,000 and €10,000 of the final price of a vehicle, depending on the manufacturer. Thanks to battery leasing, the price of an electric vehicle under battery lease is on a par with the price of internal combustion vehicles.
The second advantage of battery leasing is the guarantee that the battery will always be operational. Indeed, the battery of an electric vehicle represents a fear for the most ill-informed, as it is often seen as unreliable. Today, electric car batteries are proving their efficiency, thanks to the democratization of 100% electric vehicles.
To ensure battery capacity, battery leasing is now replaced by a vehicle and battery warranty when the vehicle is purchased outright. Most manufacturers now offer warranties ranging from seven to nine years, to reassure the driver when purchasing an electric vehicle.
