You can get 2014 ones from £11k so there is no point buying an old model for £10k...Have a look on autotrader at the new/nearly new offers.

Plus if you buy it new you get a free charger as well.

The newer ones have much better heaters/AC so they don't kill the range anywhere near as the original model.

If you lease the battery for £70 a month then you get the lifetime warranty.

But if you want a small car then the VW up! at £99 a month is a total no brainer in comparison. No limits on range either.

EVs only make sense if you commute into London and are therefore saving the £11 a day congestion charge. If you live elsewhere they're just a waste of money.

The newer one will be the battery leased scheme like Renault EVs.

The older one you own the battery outright.

Plenty of companies in London have Leafs for local running about and a fair few are used as Private Hire vehicles aswell, obviously not for longer runs just local running around.
