22kw ZOE does 90 miles per charge ideal for most but why hire a battery it's not going to save you anything, OK it includes breakdown and a possible downside of future failure. but is it worth the premium.

£49 per month £588 per year 13p a mile my 9 year old Abarth 500 is costing 14p a miles + road tax adds 3.7p based on 5000 miles. prices as above increase so 6k = 11.8p 7.5k = 11p 9k = 10.5p and finally on the 22kw 10.5k miles = 10.1p

OK the best I could get my abarth 500 is 10,000 miles road tax equates to 1.8p per mile so 15.8p per mile but remember this is full use you still have to charge the ZOE ??? add POLAR £7.85pm unlimited charges and 3 months free

6000 miles charging at POLAR only is £94.20 a year or 1.57p per mile. 13.37p per mile I guess for total piece of mind and breakdown cover included it's OK but saving the world and not your wallet is a goal then GO FOR IT.

I'm restricting myself to mileage and saving hardly nothing to own a ZOE. I really want one but lease really isn't the option it seems.
