Tim, so you don’t actually own the battery but instead rent it on a monthly basis? Is that so it can be exchanged should it no longer hold its charge?

Yes so long as the car is less than 10 years old and less than 100,000 miles IIRC and you get the latest tech battery which may have greater capacity than what you are replacing- bigger battery but no higher charging rate!

Looks like there may be an option to buy out the lease : https://evexpress.co.uk/renault-zoe-battery-explained
I guess it would need careful investigation to see what the vehicle might be worth with leased or purchased batteries in say three or four years time. £840 a year just to lease the battery for a second car to use as a short distance run around, doesn't seem very cost effective, unless you can buy the car for very little money. £840 would buy you +/- 150 gallons of petrol which would give you 6000 miles a year in a reasonably economic car doing 40 mpg. |

I'd wait until we're all forced to drive a Zoe or similar. Until then enjoy the defenders while you can.
Seems a lot of money just to have a run around |

Buy it and sell it on? Make a drink or 2 on the selling price.
