While praising Nissan, you know that they’re basically owned by Renault?
And didn’t Renault start selling cars with batteries, without forcing you to lease them, years ago? Or are there still some markets where they don’t do it?

- petre 6y agoThey pretty much gave up because of consumer choice and environmental bonuses lowering the price gap between diesel and EV. As if someone looking to buy an EV would get a diesel instead? They still offer it for Twizy though. A coworker bought a Twizy at battery rental price with env bonus. What's the point of offering a lease if getting the env bonus requires ownership of the battery? At first I thought the rental thing was a intended to extract more revenue from the customer when in fact it was an incentive to lower the upfront price and get more adoption. https://www.electrive.com/2020/11/14/renault-drops-battery-rental-for-zoe-kangoo-z-e-in-germany/ https://www.electrive.com/2020/11/14/renault-drops-battery-r...
