I've been considering buying an EV recently and noticed that the price of used Zoes has hit the ~£5k marker. I think one would be ideal for me as I'm going to start driving to the train station and London Midland offer free parking to zero emission vehicles. My local dealer had a few in stock, it seems like they've all sold apart from this one:

Would this vehicle have a leased battery and is there anything I should know about these cars? Really need to get over to the dealership to speak to them but haven't had time lately.

Don't think the maths add up if that's the cost of the battery - I thought there were some Zoes which came with an owned battery, didn't realise they were rare. I guess that's why they're pretty cheap!

I've got a 64 plate Fiat 500 at the moment which will probably use about £10 worth of fuel per week for my new commute. It'll get me a 50% discount in the station car park as it's band A road tax, meaning total commute costs are less than the price of leasing the battery.
