At least we can hope that the i3 technology that is designed to last 20 years, should keep the value longer, than cars with laptop battery technology.

But it is expected that the i3 technology (Samsung), will double its capacity in new cars within 4-5 years, so it will not be a good investment anyway...

But I will save around 20 000 Euros through these 4-5 years, compared to non-electric cars, so it should be around 0 net cost, and a fun drive for 1500 days :-)

I hope this doesn't kill good lease rates. Car with a high residual value can lease out for much more attractive payments.
