I can understand all the issues people have raised on this thread. The simple
fact is that hardly any of the Renault range is selling. As a long term EVer,
I would not be swayed by the battery lease idea unless it was very cheap -
$10/month or so. I have sufficient faith in the battery tech
Gosh, that's interesting! The VW e-up! is out-selling the BMW i3! MW

Hi Buddy,
Why not run your heaters from the main pack voltage rather than changing the
voltage twice.
I use 2kW 220vac ceramic heater cores taken out of cheap fan heaters. They are
about 4 square and supposedly very safe as the resistance rises with
temperature so they never reach an unsafe

Why make an effort to sell lower priced 40kwh cars? - Right now, I agree, but
... because, as I previously stated, in Europe and much of Asia, long distance
is not the issue, it's car cost and range anxiety. If you can sell a car for
$10k less without the buyer having to worry about range
Thanks Cor, That is exactly what I needed.

Gosh, that's interesting!
Seems like a very inefficienct system. If you want heat, just run
resistance heat directly from the EV voltage. That is 100% efficient and
costs nothing in complexity. Just series whatever number of 120v heater
elements in series is needed to reach the pack voltage. And of course
switch to DC
in Europe... Asia, long distance is not the issue,
it's car cost and range anxiety. If you can sell a car
for $10k less without the buyer having to worry about range anxiety
(because there is a good rapid charge infrastructure...) then you'll
sell more cars.
The goal is not to just sell

I think one could argue that if you take a 100 mile trip once every 6
weeks, an EV for everything else might work. Renting once every 6 weeks
would be reasonable, perhaps.
However, aside from the Tesla, 100 mile trips aren't possible. More
Yes. Rental companies have those type of agreements - you get a key fob
or something like that and can reserve a car online and minutes later
go pick it up.
Also, there's flex car and car-2-go.

85% of driven trip miles were under 39 miles. Also,
99% of driven trip miles were less than 100 miles ,
leaving only 1% of trip miles being over 100 miles.
Less than one percent of trips are over 100 miles.
That suggests that three trips per year are over 100 miles. Not having
