The costs per kilometer are decisive in kilometer leasing, especially if they have to be borne privately. With a monthly leasing rate of 141.61 €, the smart fortwo 453 cabrio EQ pulse is already somewhat expensive anyway. When calculating the costs per kilometer, however, a distinction should still be made between a rather short leasing period (2 - 3 years) and a longer one (4 - 6 years). For simplicity, we ignore this difference in the following calculation example and assume a lease term of 36 months at the most favorable lease price . The cost of operating the vehicle, an electric car, so the cost of electricity, amount to just 102 € monthly, as the vehicle is very economical. In addition, there are insurance costs of 35 € per month, which is quite a low amount but of course mainly due to the low gross list price (29254 €) and the vehicle size. The total invoice for this offer also includes the transfer and registration costs in the amount of 880 € (one-time). The final assessment of this offer: The costs per kilometer are rather high at 0.4 €, but if you consider the effective leasing factor of 0.57, it quickly becomes clear - for admittedly a lot of money, you get a lot of car here. A real deal recommendation!.
The previous costs are now summed and divided by the number of inclusive kilometers (5000 km multiplied by the term 36 months).
