Hi all!
Just wanted to get the current consensus on the best EV deals at the moment, located in NY State if that matters. Going to need to pull the trigger on a second car soon and time to get hacking! Will be used mostly for commuting to the train station, so I am pretty flexible on the car (though want 4 wheel drive) and looking to see what the best deal I can put together is.
Thanks!
You’ll be looking at a ‘23 Nissan Ariya, ‘24 Chevy Blazer, ‘24 Kia EV6, ‘24 Dodge Hornet (PHEV) for larger EVs.
Kia Niro and Subaru Solterra also work but have their own issues

Thanks, better deals on the Kia EV6 currently vs the Hyundai Ioniq? How does the Genesis gv60 / gv70 stack up cost wise?
Hornet deals died this month in the NE with the conquest going away
Genesis is a luxury brand, so it’ll certainly be more expensive. The Kia/Hyundais are a lot more hackable, Genesis you’re probably looking at $500/600 per month + DAS. Check with @aronchi, he serves tri state area.
A couple more questions - it looks like the 13 month genesis lease can generate some pretty good payments, any downsides to going that route? Fwiw I test drove a gv60 and frankly I think I like the Kia ev6 better. Also, if by some chance I was able to locate a Bmw i40x loaner, what would be a solid discount to shoot for?
Check out the marketplace
Will do; fwiw this is the quote I got on the gv60. I tried to replicate on the calculator, the tax on this seems almost double what it should be, so I played with the mf until I got the calculator to match. Does my calculator seem roughly correct? Obviously, I am not going to go for this, but just want to calibrate my calculator so I can use it correctly to figure out the deal I would like to target.
Your deal sheet shows $0 due at signing. Your calculator has first mont due at signing.
Seems maybe a little high, but not much. You’re paying tax on about $25k in depreciation and $10k in rent charge.

Wow the MF is marked up to the sky

Ok, so more like this:
No. You’re misreading the quote. The downpayment amount is capcost reduction from applied incentives.
Or this with the fees properly separated
Thank you.
if you’re in the market for a car soon, I recommend paying a broker from Marketplace. You can slowly figure out how to work the numbers to prepare for the next lease. And check the models I gave you.
GV60 and GV70 EV both had some insane deals in previous months, but not sure if they’re still around.
The new Honda Prologue deals look sick, go test the car. YouTube reviews look pretty sweet though and the elite trim at $440/month seems great. If you like it, check with @EVKingsPlus, he’s a great guy, he worked with me on my EQS.
Why worry about finding a loaner i4? You can get 10-12% discounts on new ones this month plus incentives. That should drop the monthly payment into the low $500 a month range.
Yea I’ve pinged a bunch of brokers but no one seems to have inventory in the cars I’d be interested in. Seems like I missed the great deals on some of the EVs by a month or two.
Not even the Blazer EV, Lyriq, or Nissan Ariya?
I have a platinum (top trim) Ariya and honestly it is a really nifty car. I enjoy it a lot, would consider buying a used one once my lease is up.
Thank you very much. Ok, I am making some progress on the Ioniq 5. Have the following offer from a dealer:
Market Value Selling Price: 52,835.00
Discount: 3,000.00
Rebate: 15,000.00
Adjusted price: 34,835.00
Taxable Fees (Estimated): 1,260.34
Doc Fee: 595.00
Tax: 2,935.50
Non Tax Fees: 7.50
Balance: 39,633.34
Payment comes to $506 with zero cash down (asked for first months due at signing, but fine).
Here’s my attempt to replicate with the calculator which comes out $11 higher:
Interesting, the 36/10 is not the best combination for this, using the same setup but correct rv, mf, and incentives for 33/10 yields $500 (so maybe $489 if also off by $11), and 24/12 yields $556 (or maybe $545). So 33/10 is the winner.
So, where would you look to improve on this? One place is to ask about the dealer fees, what are they and can any be waived. Also additional discount; do you think another $1000 off would be something achievable?
