Have you tried using EA in SoCal? Youâre not going to be hitting these numbers unless you have a lot of time on your hands and donât value said time.

My leases end well before 55k miles. I wonât be replacing any rubber, but you will. I could go on, but you donât seem to want to listen to any opinions that differ from your own. You came here looking for someone to say go for it.

Hi. I entirely agree with your rubber matter. However, I also consider my aging BMWâs potential maintenance costs for next 2-3 years, and after some negotiations, they took my BMW at no cost to me, while it as $2,000-5,000 under water. My final terms came to $2,500 deposit (total), $561/36 months, 2 years unlimited electric (special for 2024 I4).
The point of leasing BMWs is to never drive them out of warranty. You got plenty of good advice before you signed. Good luck

you keep bringing this up as an added value and I would ask that you check the EA app during the times you plan to charge and see what availability is like at the location(s) that you plan to use. Multiple manufacturers are offering this 2 year free charging at EA and the lines can get pretty long. You might have to go charge at odd hours if thatâs the only time itâs not super busy in your area. My EQE came with it also but itâs driven so little I havenât actually used EA yet but I hear it can be very time consuming. Only you know how much you value your time though and if you want to spent a chunk of it waiting to charge or going to EA at odd hours to avoid busy times.
âGas savingsâ can be achieved by any EV
The more pertinent question is how much you save on a 2024 i4 with EA vs charging a 2025 at home.
