Should you lease or buy your next electric vehicle? A financial analysis covering depreciation, incentives, and flexibility.
The lease versus buy decision for electric vehicles involves unique financial considerations including rapid technology advancement, battery degradation concerns, federal tax credit structures, and the fast pace of EV price reductions. Leasing an EV offers several unique advantages. The rapid pace of EV technology improvement means that leasing allows you to upgrade to significantly better range, charging speed, and features every 2 to 3 years. The federal EV tax credit can be applied by the leasing company to reduce your monthly payment, even if you personally would not qualify for the credit. And leasing eliminates concerns about long term battery degradation and resale value uncertainty. Buying makes financial sense if you plan to keep the vehicle for 5 or more years. While EVs depreciate faster than gas cars in the first 3 years, depreciation curves flatten significantly afterward. A buyer who keeps their EV for 7 to 10 years will pay far less per year of ownership than a series of leases. Additionally, the minimal maintenance requirements of EVs mean that long term ownership does not carry the increasing repair costs associated with aging gas cars.
