Mr. Guillaume Séguin:

There are solutions for that. In Ireland, we generally have a very good climate; it is never too hot or too cold and realistically the battery will last for life of the car. I would not worry too much about that. While my colleague said he had lost a small amount of capacity, realistically, the battery will last for the life of the car. For people who are anxious about the battery capacity, some manufacturers, such as Nissan in the UK or Renault in Ireland, lease batteries and in such cases, the car owner does not own the battery. One pays €50, €60 or €70 per month for the facility and one has a lease on only the battery but one owns the car. It lowers the price of the car when one goes to a dealership and it can provide reassurance for a person who has such an anxiety.
