They are also in the process of releasing the Megane model as EV only model going forward, and the reviews so far are very encouraging.

As a French, I find this quite funny because Renault tried for years not to sell their batteries but lease them (Zoe's mostly, which was the most sold EV in Europe for quite some time).

Tesla never offered the rental option for their batteries b/c they trusted their quality and reliability (Renault's batteries were and are quite subpar).

If you trust the quality and reliability of your battery why not still offer rental as an option ?
