That was the Leaf and early Zoe's, but now the battery comes as part of the vehicle. It was to counteract the perceived view that EV batteries will be toast in a few years. That myth has now been put to bed.
TBH it was the battery lease thing put us off the Zoe when we needed a new small car 4 years ago. I was thinking that we'd keep it until retirement (15 years) then sell as a cheap small car to a new driver / cheap second car - but who would buy it with a £70 a month lease on the battery? Plus, £70 buys a lot more petrol than we use in the Citigo we bought in the end.
