So, looking at my first step into EVs and as I do few miles and have a 320d back up for longer journeys, a Zoe 22kW looks good at about 6-7k.

My only question relates to these battery leases. Are they just on going, so I buy the car privately or trade and then we change the battery lease to me and I pay that monthly? I guess so?

Yes. General thought is dont buy one with a battery lease its a waste of money. Zoe/leaf batteries are v reliable esp at mild uk temperatures (neither cold or hot) Ive done 30k in my leaf and battery still has 12bars (full health) . Connecting to leafspy shows 90% health
