With more options than ever, driving an electric vehicle has never been more affordable. As new EVs hit the market, the lease deals are heating up. Here are all the EVs you can lease for under $300 a month this September.
A record 330,463 electric vehicles were sold in the US in the second quarter. According to Kelley Blue Book, EVs accounted for 8% of total new vehicle sales in Q2, up from 7.1% in the first three months of 2024.
The growth was driven by the influx of new models, massive discounts, and higher leasing rates. A big factor behind leasing is the ability to pass on the $7,500 federal tax credit to lessees.
Most automakers are slapping the $7,500 on top of additional incentives like lease bonus cash, conquest, and loyalty offers. In total, the savings amount to over $10,000 in many cases.
According to Motor Intelligence, Kia’s new three-row EV9 SUV sold with an average discount of over $19,700 in July. The Honda Prologue and Volkswagen sold with an average discount of $7,035 and $13,015, respectively.
