Lease a Kia Soul (electric) for use in French countryside?

About twice a month.

You may be interested to know that Portsmouth Council has just installed charging points on lampposts in a residential road for a trial.

The Kia Niro has been voted best EV and has a very long waiting list in UK.
I don’t know how it is in France, but it would certainly be our choice.

Yep all 900 models eNiro that is (other variants are available) sold incredibly quickly. No more due until 2020.
Hopefully the Volkswagen platform will be able to roll out various models via Skoda, VW, and Seat. I am looking at the Seat version but haven’t seen much yet. It was due to be unveiled at the Geneva motor show last week. Very similar looking to the eNiro, similar range to.
