With french Companies offering a Car in the 20k€ range
With a battery rental in the order of 80 € per month on top. It’s easy to offer a cheap car if the most expensive component isn’t sold along with it.
True, but that don’t seems to be a bad idea after all: it make the car less expensive when you buy it so maybe more people could afford one and currently for that montly price you will not even do one full tank of fuel here.
It is a good idea. I just don’t like being forced to rent it. I want to buy a car so that it is mine, but the French don’t offer that.
A possibility is that this way the manufacturer is sure to get the batter yback at any time, which means that probably once it the battery is under a certain max charge capacity. As far as I remember, Renault is/was doing something like this with the Zoe batteries: once they are no more good to be used for a car, they were refitted for home usage with solar panels.
But I get your point.
