E-Niro - do you buy or lease ?

I just picked up on this link which popped up on my desktop this morning. Electric car leasing ! So I clicked on it and scrolled through the list of so many electric cars that they offer for leasing. https://www.drive-electric.co.uk/vehicle/

But then I got down to the e-Niro being offered to 'business users only' Why ???

So I called them up. Jack told me that this is a policy forced upon them by KIA UK, which they are not very happy with, and it is due to the scarcity of supply of the eNiro - so business users will get first dibs !

Pretty sniffy eh ?

Which begs the question do you all buy or do you lease your Niros ?

I took my first Niro4 HEV on a three year lease which expires in September this years and now I am just waiting for figures on the New Niro HEV to order my next one on another three year lease.

Leasing a car took a total change of mindset after buying and owning many cars for almost forty years, but I am very happy now to know that my capital is not tied up in a depreciating asset. I am just paying a monthly rate for the depreciation and a service charge including road tax and service package.

I don't understand why they'd give businesses first dibs. Are businesses the bulk of their clients at this point?

Well this would be understandable, that B2B is most of their business, right?
