alfa - the vionx leasing package is I feel sure a vendor finance partnership with siemens finance, either disclosed or undisclosed on all the leasing documentation but entirely sensible as Siemens will handle the credit assessment, finanance, balance sheet capital adequacy and any default and recovery process, and vionx will handle the sale of batteries and bundled leasing finance to the end user. If BMN get into electrolyte leasing, this is the model they should use. BMN would most probably sell the electrolyte to the end user, the end user would simultaneously sell the electrolyte or the battery and electrolyte to Siemens or whoever the provider is, and also sign a lease to rent the electrolyte (and battery ) back from Siemens on a sale and leaseback structure. I see Siemens are a badged partner on the vionx website.
