In a word, no. Not without charging on route. Have a play with www.abetterrouteplanner.com (click on more settings).

Thanks, this is very useful.
However even with the long range leaf, that is meant to have well over 200 miles range, according to this, I would need to charge it for 5 minutes for my 144 mile round trip.
I don't know if this is because most of the trip is on the Motorway.
I maybe able to incorporate going to the gym somewhere along this journey as I only do it once a week.

Carwow just did a group test

Leaf E+ did over 200 miles at (mostly) 70mph, temp 7C

When I spoke on phone he based deal on 3+23. When I stated I wanted 1+23 he was implying better to go 3+23. When I said it was same cost for the lease £7008.46 total incl fee either way, so better for me just to do 1+23 he said that figure for 1+23 would probably go up once "final" price received after finance application processed. Then also said it would be expected to go up again due to audi and road tax price increases with getting the car delivered after April.

I`m beginning to think instead of 24 x £277.02 + £360 admin fee it will come back along the lines of 24 x £299 + £360 admin fee, but I might just be a pessimist. :-)

They rang today. Orders the white. 1 +23 at 295 as quoted on website. Paid the £360. Any extra will be the new Road fund license increase which won't be much.

Eastern Western Motor Group have quoted me the following for a VW Arteon 2.0 TSI Elegance on 5k miles:-
£2k deposit, then 23 x £221.16, which seems reasonable ? The finance is through VW Financial Services. They actually want a deposit of £4,558, but "there is a dealer cashback of £2,558 paid to you after you have taken delivery of the vehicle" - is this normal practice ?

Not a bad deal for an Elegance spec - presume its Urano Grey solid paint?

This deposit contribution is certainly not unusual for leases via VW dealers - my forthcoming Arteon is on almost exactly the same basis with the dealer contributing £2,550.

I also had this on a 2016 Golf Match lease - In fact looking back on it I took delivery of the car from VW Telford, then received the dealers contribution in to my bank account and it was then another four weeks before the deposit payment was taken by VWFS. So for as month I had the car and the money without my spending a single penny (not even an admin fee as it was direct with the dealer).

Looking to replace my Abarth 124 which goes back in April (or before if I find a decent deal)

Fancy something a bit more grown up so looking at Volco s60 or V60 I want the T5 on a 1 or 3 + 18 or 24, I only do around 4,000 miles a year but 8,000 seems to come in cheaper for some reason? this is the best I can find at the moment, anyone know of any better deals?

Try Santander, they have the V60 T4 R Design Pro on their site at £389 on a 1+18, 10k miles a year no fees.

They do 8k quotes too so maybe they can do something to beat the one you have?

Cheers I’ve emailed them for a quote, fancy the T5 over the T4 but not sure there will actually be that much difference in the real world?

Thanks also useful.

So now I need to decide whether its worth me charging en-route or paying the extra for the E+.
Seems to be quite a difference in price.

E+ avg monthly cost of £527.54 for 20k miles
The 40kWh Leaf is only £353.72 avg for the same.

Currently spending around £250 pcm on fuel so the second is a significant saving for me.

enjoy getting 26-27mpg with the T5 and maybe 30-31 with the T4. horrible mpg. I know as I am running an XC60 T5 AWD...

Can't comment on the T4 but I have an S60 T5, I get early 30s mpg driving 14 miles motorway and 4 miles town. I'd expect a little more but it is quick.

I get that from a 5.0L Mustang

I seriously considered one of the bargain S60/S90 petrols until I researched into their fuel economy.

[truekumar]

Anyone aware of any decent offers on the Kia E-Niro?

The best i've seen is one on a 9+23 at 10k miles per annum for £352.85. Its not an amazing deal, so looking out for something better. Any other SUV type EVs on offer at the moment? Looks like the e-tron deal at £299 was a misprint

Really not fussed about fuel economy as I don’t do that many miles and hardly any longish journeys so MPG will most likely be poor anyway, I Would just prefer the extra power

pretty awful deal tbh. at 10k miles and 3 month upfront.

£1,264.14 initial + £421.38 p/m x 23 = £10,955.88 + £180 fee = £11,135.88

List price: £36,590

% of list price: 30.43%

Many thanks for this. I was expecting grey, but was informed that they only have 'brilliant solid white' left. Oh well, at least it will match the wife's.

Just to throw a spanner in the works, you can get a Audi A4 Black Edition for a similar price over the term:

And also the Avant, which works out a little cheaper:

Same, which is why I jumped on the deal when it came out as it worked out at around 15%. Maybe it will loosen up once I've put a few more miles on it? If not no worries!

I'm pretty sure these don't exist. No luck getting anyone to send me any details about them.

what are you on about?

Why would anyone go for a lease where they are paying 30% of the list price over 2 years...
