That seems very cheap indeed. I suppose the B class is a bit outclassed in terms of range these days?

B class is actually one of the best for range with a 28KW battery, however it has no rapid charge capability, so the quickest it can be charged is 3 hours.

Thanks for the heads up DSLiverpool. I called but only one car and that has now gone. Let me know if you spot any more!

EPA range only 87 miles vs 114 for the i3 and 107 for the Leaf.

Looks expensive to me. Compared to my current PCP deal anyway.

And how is the fuel included. There's no details of how this works, that it could be arsed reading and understanding anyway.

Yes, the prices are on a steadily upward rise - I guess Renault are selling enough now that they don't need to promote it hard. The fuel included is pretty simple - the Chargemaster charge point that gets installed includes a meter (they all have this) which shows how much electricity gets used by the car. The cost of this is refunded back into the owner's bank account quarterly so that the fuelling is effectively free. It's currently limited to 10000 miles of 'fuel' but we're looking to increase this soon.

Fair enough. Your website doesn't explain how that works though.

The EPA range seems to be very under rated, It's actually got a 36KW battery (I was wrong before!)

NEDC is 126 miles vs 195 for the i3 and 155 for the Leaf! So whichever way you cut it, you're not going to get as far as an i3 or Leaf on a full charge...

The new 30kw Leaf and i3, maybe. The older 24kw versions, nope.

Local dealer is offering a band new one (list price £33k) for under £21k, cash or finance. Could make for an attractive PCP deal.
