Here Are The Best EV Lease Deals You Can Get In December 2024

Now that we are in the final year of 2024, there is a collection of great specials and deals that you can take advantage of to get yourself behind the wheel of a brand-new electric car. Manufacturers offer some of their best offers during this period because consumers are traditionally more likely to make bigger financial decisions, and they want to clear as many models off their dealership floors as possible to bulk up their annual sales results and prepare space for the new collection of 2025 model year units.

Leasing is one of the best options you can consider if you want to enjoy the

appeal of driving a new EV
without having to deal with the catastrophic depreciation rates that these eco-conscious products are typically subject to. Leasing also includes several other benefits, such as fewer maintenance requirements and better insurance rates. The only downside is that you are subject to a mileage limit, but these are typically far higher than what the average American EV driver covers within a year.

In order to give you the most up-to-date and accurate information possible, the data used to compile this article was sourced from various manufacturer websites and other authoritative sources, including the EPA, Consumer Reports, and J.D. Power. We’ve ranked the models below based on their monthly payments, from least to most expensive.

Kia Niro EV

Monthly Payment: $149

Select Kia dealerships are offering the 2024 Niro EV for as little as $149 a month over 24 months with $3,999 due at signing. The South Korean brand caps the mileage limit at 10,000 miles, annually. Those looking to finance one can also enjoy a competitive zero percent APR over 60 months.

Performance Specifications

The Niro EV is only available with one drivetrain option, which is a single permanent-magnet motor mounted to the front. This

produces 201 horsepower and 118 pound-feet
, which gets you from 0-60 MPH in just under 7.0 seconds before hitting a 101 MPH top speed limit. The EPA estimates that this model will cover 253 miles on a single charge and return a 30 kWh per 100 miles average energy consumption estimate.

2

Hyundai Ioniq 5

Monthly Payment: $159

Hyundai is offering the 2024 Ioniq 5 SE Standard Range for as little as $159 a month over 24 months with $3,999 due at signing. This includes a $7,500 EV lease bonus and a 12,000-mile annual mileage limit. If you want the more premium SEL, you’ll need to increase your monthly budget to $239. The SE with the extended battery pack will only add $20 to your monthly payment.

Performance Specifications

The

Hyundai Ioniq 5
SE is the base rear-wheel drive model with the standard battery pack, which produces 168 horsepower. It returns a 29 kWh/100 miles combined energy consumption figure, but the rear-wheel drive model with the extended battery covers 303 miles on a single charge from its 77.4 kWh battery. The Ioniq 5 N features an 84 kWh battery pack, but its increased output means you’ll only cover 221 miles on a single charge.

3

Nissan Ariya

Monthly Payment: $169

Select Nissan dealerships are offering its Ariya EV crossover for as little as $169 a month over 24 months, but the catch is that you have to pay $6,219 at signing. The range also enjoys a 1.9 percent APR financing deal over 36 months as well as a $1,000 loyalty bonus for existing customers.

Performance Specifications

The entry-level Nissan Ariya‘s single front-mounted electric motor with the 63 kWh standard battery produces 214 horsepower and 221 pound-feet, resulting in a claimed 7.5-second 0-60 MPH time and 99 MPH top speed. On the efficiency front, the Venture+ derivative returns the best EPA-estimated energy consumption figure of 33 kWh per 100 miles. The Engage model sits slightly below this with its 33 kWh per 100-mile estimate. The Platinum+ e-4ORCE fitted with the optional 20-inch wheels returns a 39 kWh per 100 miles, making it the heaviest option of the lot.

4

Nissan Leaf

Monthly Payment: $179

The Nissan Leaf‘s $ 179-a-month lease deal is marginally more expensive than the Ariya, but it is only subject to a $4,379 signing fee. This includes a $1,000 cash discount. Those wanting to finance can consider the brand’s 2.9 percent APR deal over 60 months together with a $3,750 cash offer.

Performance Specifications

The Leaf isn’t the fastest electric car that you can consider. It features a single front-mounted permanent-magnet motor only churning out 143 horsepower, resulting in a 7.4-second 0-60 MPH claim time and 136 MPH top speed. Nissan’s claims are a bit bold, as independent tests showcase 7.8 seconds to be more realistic. Despite featuring some performance-oriented exterior cues, this Japanese EV puts efficiency before anything else, with an appealing 111 MPGe or 30 kWh per 100 miles combined energy consumption estimates.

5

Kia EV6

Monthly Payment: $179

Kia is offering the 2024 EV6 Light Long Range for $179 a month over 24 months with $3,999 due at signing. This includes a $7,500 EV lease bonus and a 12,000-mile annual mileage limit as well.

Performance Specifications

The

Kia EV6
benefits from a very respectable 78/100 consumer verified score from J.D. Power. The Light Rear-Wheel Drive variation features a single permanent-magnet motor fitted to the rear axle, producing 167 horsepower. This only gets it from 0-60 MPH in 8.0 seconds, but you benefit from a favorable 28 kWh per 100 miles energy consumption estimate.

6

Hyundai Kona Electric

Monthly Payment: $189

The 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric is available for as little as $189 per month for 24 months with $3,999 due at signing. You can also take advantage of a more competitive $179 per month deal if you’re happy to consider a 2024 model year. There’s also a 0.99 percent APR financing deal over 60 months for all trims, with a $7,500 cash offer.

Performance Specifications

The Kona Electric is a recently refreshed but simpler EV option, featuring a single front-mounted electric motor generating 133 horsepower and 188 pound-feet. A 47 kWh battery pack provides enough energy to cover the crossover for an EPA-estimated 200 miles on a single charge. This is not a car aimed at speed freaks, as the modest EV only breaks the 0-60 MPH sprint in 6.8 seconds until it hits its 107 MPH top speed.

7

Vinfast VF8

Monthly Payment: $199 Per Month

Vinfast continues to do whatever it takes to move stock off its dealership floors after what can only be described as a disappointing market launch. For December, you can enjoy a $199 per month lease over 36 months for its VF8 with just $199 due at signing. There’s also an unlimited zero percent APR financing deal with a $7,500 cash bonus.

Performance Specifications

Vinfast’s Eco trim
features a pair of dual permanent-magnet motors, generating a combined 349 horsepower, ranting it a 5.9-second 0-60 MPH time. The 82 kWh battery pack is enough to cover it for 207 miles while returning a 39 kWh per 100 miles average energy consumption estimate. Upgrading to the Plus increases output to 402 horsepower, but you have to make do with a 191-mile range and 42 kWh per 100 miles average energy consumption estimate.

Performance Specifications

The

Toyota bZ4X
is the Japanese brand’s inaugural electric vehicle product which you can have in both front and all-wheel drive specifications. These aren’t too different from one another, as the brand applies a very compact motor on the rear axle. The base single-motor model generates 201 horsepower, which gets you from 0-60 MPH in 7.3 seconds. Upgrading to the dual-motor option increases power to 214 horsepower, resulting in a 6.7-second 0-60 MPH time.

Hyundai Ioniq 6

Monthly Payment: $209

The Hyundai Ioniq 6 Rear-Wheel Drive SE is currently subject to a competitive $209 per-month lease deal over 24 months with $3,999 due at signing with a 10,000-mile annual limit. This increases to $219 for the extended range SE, $269 for the SEL, and $369 for the flagship Limited model.

Performance Specifications

The rear-wheel drive model is another configuration that focuses on efficiency. The SEL trim in particular is the more attractive trim as it

returns 140 MPGe or 24 kWh per 100 miles
. It also manages to squeeze an impressive 361 miles of range from the 77.4 kWh battery pack. Performance-wise, the single rear-wheel drive motor produces 225 horsepower, which gets you from 0-60 MPH in just 6.2 seconds with a 115 MPH top speed.

Performance Specifications

The single-motor Equinox EV features a permanent-magnet motor on the front axle, which generates 213 horsepower and 242 pound-feet. This gets from 0-60 MPH in a claimed 7.7 seconds before hitting a limited 112 MPH top speed. Using an 85 kWh Ultium technology lithium-ion battery, you can

expect this model to cover 319 miles
on a single charge and consume a combined 31 kWh per 100 miles, according to the EPA’s estimations.
