I suggest you consider why used BEV prices are so low today, and for the same reason you probably would want to lease a new BEV, rather than buy a used one.Spectre12 said:Hey all,
I've been following this forum since I was about 15, when I seriously started believing in the EV Revolution. Since I'll be going away to college in less than a year, I have been debating in my head whether or not to get an '11-'15 Chevy Volt or a '11-15 Nissan Leaf, used of course. ...
The inability of compliance BEV manufacturers to sell new BEVs has led to incredibly cheap lease rates.
For California residents who qualify for $4,000 or higher rebates, you just can't beat a ~free new BEV for
~three years at current highly subsidized lease rates:

8/13 survey posted, and compliance BEV (and Chevy volt) lease costs just keep going lower, and it looks like GM (+ CARB, $4,000 rebate) may actually pay you to drive a Spark for three years:

Notice the lowest rates are almost all in CA.
The LEAF S is now the costliest non-Tesla powered BEV you can lease in CA ?
