I'm on my 2nd Zoe an absolutely fabulous car. We took ours on holiday 180 miles away for 3 weeks and the round trip including 3 weeks of local driving cost a total of £40 - try that in your petrol vehicles!
Call it £10.5k price ir you want to add £2kish to buy out the batteries from Renault and not have to pay the lease. I'm not worried about battery degradation, but do maintain the warranty for other major parts available until 10 years old. I did by out batteries and have been happily driving for a couple of years. The only problem I've had has been killing a tyre on a kerb; side rubber ripped to the canvas... probably the extra weight of the car (light compared to SUVs though!). I'm lucky enough tobe able to charge it from solar panels. Very cheap commuter car to run.

TBH £8.5k sounds a lot. Just saw one advertised by a dealer local to me for £1k less (2019 reg).
Plus about £60 a month battery rental 😪
Don't buy electric
