all those car park wounds that have been covered up by the 'Scrapes'n'dents' guys you can find on may industrial estates. I imagine it even worse than the process of handing back a rental car.
Nah. It's miles better. There is a very specific code of conduct from the trade association and detailed guidelines to what's wear and tear and what's damage. It's not a concern at all.
Hefty
Not that I would ever waste the money on a new car lease/pcp/whatever,
the mfgv is surely based upon a lot of negotiation when you hand it back,
not just any mileage overrun, but all those car park wounds that have been covered up by the 'Scrapes'n'dents' guys you can find on many industrial estates.

Any electric car will have a full record of every enthusiastic acceleration, every needless overtake, every bit of accelerate/brake along a road with sequenced lights. This might show up in a slightly reduced service interval in an ice-based vehicle,
but
electric (assisted) vehicles have the record of how the battery has been aged by use.
I would expect thrashed vehicles to fall far beneath their mgfv as the replacement battery pack will be charged to the 'enthusiastic' user.
