Hi all,

I’m looking for a low cost lease for an EV or plugin hybrid that would be used solely for local driving. Any ideas on best deals or options for my search? Would need a sedan or even a coupe that could fit 2 boosters in the back for a 7 & 9 year old.

Any help or insight would be super helpful

Bearer of less than awesome news here..

Unless something changes drastically in Sept over the previous months, I believe your 200-300 budget isn’t quite realistic for finding much in the EV or PHEV market. (That’s assuming zero down/first only scenarios)

Maybe maybe maybe something at the very top end (300) of that if there’s a demo EV special.

Or maybe if you qualify for some incentives that weren’t mentioned. Or have $ to put down.

Based on what I’ve seen, might be worth looking for a Cadillac Optiq previous loaner base model, but that’s probably still gonna be on the higher end of your range at absolute best.

A Honda Prologue might be doable too if you can find one that’s been sitting on the lot for a while. Again, FWD base trim.

good luck.

I’m thinking 2 booster seats might be a tough fit?

Thank you all! I just had to prove to my wife that she’s out of her mind if she thought she was getting anything in that price range. Now I can do a proper search. Will post soon

A proper search would show you that a Prologue in that range (300s) might be doable.

Easy? No.

Prologue in the lower 300s is an option:

Looking for an EV in the 300’s is fine but like to avoid heavy down payments. Need to transition soon as my current lease is almost over.

Check honda prologue. For NY customers there is an extra $2k clean rebate
