Better Place unveils Israeli pricing policy
The basic Renault Fluence ZE will cost NIS 123,000 and battery recharging will cost from NIS 1,090 per month.
The basic peripherals include a computerized driving and energy management system, a GPS navigation system, online hook-up to a call center, a four-year manufacturer's warranty, split climate control air conditioning, cruise control, a hook-up for mobile devices, rain sensor, and automatic lights.
Better Place believes that the regular maintenance cost of the Fluence will be 40% less than regular family cars. Insurance is also supposed to be less, at around NIS 3,700 a year.
The Fluence will have a graduated four-year insurance policy, whose price will be based on mileage. Better Place's service package plans includes an annual mileage plan, installation and maintenance of a home recharging station, free access to Better Place's battery replacement stations, battery availability, a computerized driver support system, navigation aids, and roadside service. The company intends to guarantee a four-year fixed monthly subscription, which will fix transportation costs during the contract period.
Better Place is offering a fixed fee of NIS 1,090 (including VAT) for up to 20,000 kilometers a year, NIS 1,300 for up to 23,000 kilometers a year, NIS 1,470 for up to 26,000 kilometers a year, and NIS 1,599 for up to 30,000 kilometers a year.
Better Place says that its comprehensive solution of electric car and services cuts annual vehicle maintenance costs by 20%. The saving results from the cost of the service package, insurance, preventative maintenance, and the four-year manufacturer's warranty.
Better Place is also offering a one-time subscription for unlimited driving for three years: a Fluence ZE and service package at no cost for three years and up to 25,000 kilometers a year of travel for NIS 157,500 (including VAT).
