You may want to hold out a bit longer yet Ian, you will be doing in the 60 range through the winter months, cold weather has an impact on these batteries, even with using the built in heaters.
Its certainly a good idea to rent/lease the battery from the manufacture, rather than own one outright. Technology brings along new schemes and upgrades which are set to make the customer dig deeper into their pockets.
Even when diesel and petrol motors become unavailable, the motorist will still be paying extortionate amounts of money to run and maintain their EV.
