So you put for example a third party exhaust in the lease terms?


Hoping an outdated plugin hybrid is still worth some money in 4-5 years and more money than the residual value of the contract

I really don't know if there is any demand for older plugin hybrids. People with a 40e are now screwed if they want to sell it. In 4-5 years the technology is again better, maybe other fiscal laws and the 45e is not interesting anymore. I think a car with only a petrol or diesel engine will keep its value much better. I personally wouldn't take the risk to buy a secondhand (plugin)hybrid with a +5years old batterypack.
