Renault wants you to lease battery pack fom "them", I find it the best way to tie consumer to authorised service, even better than long warranty term. They can for example say:
- We're sorry but we can't agree on you using our pack in you vehicle because you are servicing it yourself (like EVs need a lot of regular maintenance at all) and our diagnostic equipment says blah blah and our battery pack could suffer from your car. Join our $5 or $55 per week service plan and we'll continue leasing...
Yeah, conspiracy theory, I know, but I don't like customers dependance from seller or producer.
