Renault has announced that its Fluence Z.E. electric vehicle will cost €21,620, with the battery leased for €72 per month. The car actually costs €26,620, but with the €5,000 Government grant, the buyer will pay just €21,620. Renault is choosing to lease the battery to customers to "allow customers to move with improvements in battery technology."
The car will be a fully electric vehicle with zero emissions and a range of 160km from a full charge, which can be done from a domestic socket.
Renault will also offer an electric commercial vehicle - the Kangoo Z.E - which will cost €15,800 - with the same price for leasing the battery of €72 per month.
