Thanks. I’m not in the market to buy a new car. I was just wondering. I do miss my Lexus crossover because I like being higher up, but I am now into year seven of my Tesla model three and it’s just a lot of fun to drive.
Leasing an EV can be a smart option, especially if you’re unsure about long-term ownership or want to stay current with newer battery technologies that improve every few years. One thing to keep in mind is how the lease terms align with your driving habits—factors like mileage limits, charging availability near your home or workplace, and possible tax incentives can make a big difference. I’ve also noticed that thinking about the “full picture” of transportation helps some people combine an EV lease for daily driving with a reliable car service for longer trips or special occasions (for example, BostonLimoTravel
). That way you get the benefits of an EV without worrying about range in situations where you need extra flexibility.
Reviving this thread b/c son is turning his lease on his current EV (they chose to lease it back then b/c dealerships were matching the federal rebate back then) and just bought the model they had originally planned to get but didn’t (long story). They got the ionic 5. It was apparently a great deal, paying thousands less (including all taxes and such) for this new car than what the older model was selling for several years ago.
