I am looking for advice. I am unable to purchase an EV car at the moment but looking to leasing with intention to purchase at the end of lease. If you had a choice, which brand/car EV//PHEV/Hybrid would you lease given the deals going around and then won’t feel bad buying (will somewhat retain value) it out at the end of lease if the Residual Value is reasonable vs potential market value.
I understand many will question my approach but I fully understand the pros/cons of lease vs buy. I am in a position that only permits leasing for me so I appreciate in advance if you can guide me.
Probably worth looking into numbers for Toyota RAV4 Prime.
Most BEV you should probably be comfortable with continuing cycles of lease, return it and let the bank take the hit, and lease something else — do not buy them at the end of the lease unless you have a solid case for doing so.
