I am looking for a list of current electric vehicle lease specials, tax incentives, and places to find lease transfers.
As a budget-conscious buyer, which entry-level EVs offer the lowest effective monthly payment when factoring in typical US incentives and fuel savings?
Summary
General Motors is the usual answer for budget-conscious drivers aiming to secure the lowest effective monthly payment on an entry-level vehicle.
The best way to find and compare current electric vehicle (EV) lease offers is to use a combination of lease-comparison websites, automaker incentives pages, and local dealership quotes. EV lease deals can vary significantly by ZIP code, trim level, credit tier, and how much you pay upfront.
1. Edmunds
Best for researching and comparing offers
Browse lease deals, estimated monthly payments, vehicle reviews, and leasing guidance.

2. CarsDirect
Best for advertised specials
Check manufacturer-supported lease incentives and advertised monthly payments for different EV models.
3. Leasehackr
Best for finding competitive lease pricing
Explore lease deals, community-reported offers, broker deals, and calculators to evaluate the true cost of a lease.
4. TrueCar
Best for shopping local dealers
Research vehicle pricing and use dealer-shopping tools to request quotes on specific EVs.
5. Automaker websites
Best for verifying official incentives
Check the manufacturer's own offers before visiting a dealer. Start with:
These sites have recently updated offers, so they're useful starting points for comparing what's available now.
Kia EV3
36 months · $4,127 due upfront
A Florida-listed Leasehackr offer for the 2027 Wind FWD; verify eligibility and availability.
Hyundai IONIQ 5
24 months · $0 upfront shown
An advertised Florida broker listing for the SEL RWD; confirm that the offer is still available.
Kia EV9
36 months · $5,469 due upfront
A Florida-listed offer for the Wind AWD, worth checking if you need a three-row SUV.
These are advertised examples, not guaranteed personalized quotes. The upfront amount, taxes, mileage allowance, and credit requirements matter as much as the monthly payment.
For more current offers, see the October EV lease guide from Electrek and CarsDirect's EV deals.
Use this simple calculation when comparing offers:
\text{Effective monthly cost} =
\frac{\text{total lease payments + upfront costs}}{\text{lease months}}For example, $350 per month with $3,600 due upfront on a 36-month lease works out to $450 per month before any excluded taxes or fees.
Compare the same lease term and annual mileage, and ask dealers for a written quote with the selling price, incentives, total due at signing, taxes, fees, and monthly payment.

Finding the best electric vehicle (EV) lease deals requires checking specialized automotive aggregation sites, forum communities, and manufacturer incentives (which often pass down commercial tax credits to lower monthly payments).[](https://www.truecar.com/deals/fuel-electric/)[[2](https://www.reddit.com/r/leasehacker/comments/1udf904)](https://www.reddit.com/r/leasehacker/comments/1udf904/ev_lease_deals_june_2026_16brand_comparison/)

Yes — there are several good places to hunt for EV lease deals, and the advertised monthly payment isn't always the best way to compare them.
Edmunds EV lease deals — probably my first stop. They currently rank EV leases by overall value and account for the upfront payment. For October 2026, they're showing examples like:
Leasehackr Signed Deals — excellent for seeing what real people actually paid, including selling price, money factor, residual, incentives, and effective monthly cost. This is particularly useful for negotiating with dealers.
CarsDirect EV lease deals — good for filtering current offers by EV model and seeing the payment, amount due at signing, term, and effective monthly cost.
TrueCar EV deals — easy place to browse lots of manufacturer/dealer incentives. Current examples include the Prologue at $381/mo and EV6 at $409/mo, although the exact offer depends on location and eligibility.
This is especially interesting: New York's Drive Clean Rebate can provide up to $2,000 toward an eligible EV purchase or lease, subject to vehicle and lease-term requirements.
I'd also check manufacturer incentives directly because some current programs can be substantial. For example, Edmunds is currently listing a $2,000 Honda loyalty incentive and a $2,000 Ford charging credit on qualifying vehicles.
My strategy: use Edmunds to identify the best models → check Leasehackr for real-world deals → contact several NY-area dealers and negotiate the selling price + money factor + incentives, rather than negotiating based solely on monthly payment.
If you tell me your target monthly payment (e.g. <$400), desired EV/SUV size, miles/year, and whether you're okay with $0–$3k due at signing, I can search the current NY/NJ EV lease deals and make you a shortlist.
