Youtuber Gary C EV Repairs has highlighted an anti-consumer issue where Renault UK consumers who have leased their EV battery from Renault are systematically unable to end the lease early when it would be reasonable to do so, such as a car being totalled/scrapped, or otherwise no longer required.
Renault UK quote high fees to remove the battery from the vehicle and ship it internationally at the consumer's expense which are not stated in the lease contract, and dealerships are unwilling or unaware of the process defined by the leasing company for consumers to return their leased EV battery to the company.
