    I’d trust batteries a lot more than a 1.6 TDI
    Really? I thought it was a reliable enough engine. I agree with other poster that it's underpowered.

    I see a good few complaints on batteries losing a good bit of range after a few years of charging. Similar battery technology in phones and I see how their life span is relatively short v whats expected from a car.

    If battery upgrades and replacements were reasonable cost I'd probably have a different view. Renaults model of renting the battery is possibly something worth looking at.

    Comparing a phone battery to a car battery is not really a comparison

    Easiest to leave it at that.....I wouldn’t read a lot of the rubbish posted about battery degradation......
