it doesn't have to plug into anything, the petrol engine cuts in and out when required, magic stuff!
Have a test drive at your local dealer and feel the difference.
Fuel saving, well, difficult to compare as I've not owned another small car, but my diesel Chrysler Voyager does 28 mpg when used on the same sort of work, so 50% less fuel used for about the same monthly outgoings, and we don't get higher fares for the 6 seater!
With a lease car you never own it, as someone said above it goes back to the lease company at the end of the period or you can extend the period of lease or get another new car; it depends on how you want to portray your public image! The lease company suffers the depreciation, so the lease fees are taken straight off your profit line without the hassle of depreciation over x years. Maintenance liability depends on the lease arrangement. Built-in maintenance will probably cost more than you paying for it separately.
I can recommend a lease company if anyone's interested by private memo.
