Nissan's model will include leasing the very expensive battery pack,
which will make the purchase price of the car competitive with
comparable petrol and diesel engined models while still costing at
least 20% less to run.


Assuming the treasury doesn't find a way to tax electricity-for-motoring
at 500% like it does petrol and diesel. I look forward to fun and games
with the Excise turning up to see if you've illegally topped up your car
with "Red electrons".
