Yes. We also choose to lease the battery. 120€ a month. 1440€ yearly. When the capacity drops to 75%. We get a new battery for free. If we bought the battery. Then the car cost 10.000€ more. Break even is 7 year. And that is without the need of buying a second battery. The warranty is 4 years. Or 100.000km or 60% capacity. So if the battery goes faulty in the next 14 years or goes low on capacity. The cost of owning the battery is equal. I think this is a realy good plan.
