Is leasing a good option for an electric vehicle?

Leasing can appeal to EV shoppers because battery and charging technology change quickly and resale values can be hard to predict, so the lessor carries that risk. Lease terms also depend on manufacturer programs and residuals, which vary. Note that the federal clean-vehicle credits, including for leased vehicles, ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025, so check current manufacturer and state incentives instead.
