We found the best EVs to lease in June 2026. The best EV lease deals offer discounts you simply can’t get on a regular gas-powered car or truck. In some cases, you may be able to lease a zero-emission vehicle for roughly the cost of a new economy car.
Even though tax credits ended last fall, some automakers are still offering similar prices as before. Once again, Hyundai and Kia lead the way with exceptional deals. We update this page based on the latest information, so check back for possible changes.
Stay tuned for our Fourth of July deal coverage later this month.

Best Electric Car Lease Deals
2025 Ford F-150 Lightning Truck
Electric
Lease from $199 per month
It requires giving up a free charger
Regional offer, ends 7/06
Ultra-low payment with employee pricing. The 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning has one of the lowest payments that we’ve ever seen on an electric truck. In California, the XLT can be leased for $199 for 24 months with $6,799 due at signing (10,500 miles per year) thanks to an Employee Pricing For All deal.
But there are a bunch of important catches. Ford’s price includes a massive amount at signing. The effective cost of this lease is $482 per month before. Ford is also including $13,000 in lease cash, but it includes $2,000 that you can only get if you choose to opt out of its Power Promise home charger offer.
Consider waiting for July Fourth. If you can afford to hold off for a bit, we think that Independence Day could be a better time to buy. That’s because the brand introduced trade-in assistance cash for Memorial Day that brought the Lightning’s lease price down to $159 a month, a new low. Stay tuned for changes.
The Lightning is on its way out. Ford canceled the 2026 Lightning, but it’s coming back as an EREV in a couple of years. 2025 Lightning inventory is running very low, so you may want to act soon. The XLT Standard Range configuration is rated at 240 miles, but the Extended Range trim levels can go up to 320.
2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 Crossover
Electric
Lease from $259 per month
A $10 upgrade may be worth it
Regional offer, ends 7/06
Shorter leases are the best deals. The 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 continues to take advantage of the higher residual values of 24-month leases. This month, the SE Standard Range is listed at $259 for 24 months with $3,999 due at signing. With an effective cost of $426, it’s $10 more expensive than a Sonata Hybrid.
But you should probably spring for an upgrade. The cheapest IONIQ 5 isn’t the best deal. For an extra $10 per month, the 318-mile SE trim is a can’t-miss upgrade for shoppers. To put that into perspective, the base model can only go 245 miles. Examples here are for California and are good through July 6.

Frequently Asked QuestionsIs there still an EV tax credit?
There is no longer a tax credit available after September 30, 2025.
The Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit was a tax credit claimed by leasing companies on EV leases. It was used to lower prices as a rebate called lease cash.
Interestingly, the Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit created a loophole of sorts to circumvent the North American sourcing requirement, income caps, and MSRP caps established by the Inflation Reduction Act.
As a result, most EVs that weren’t eligible for the Clean Vehicle Credit on a purchase potentially saw $7,500 in savings when leasing. Additionally, many consumers have opted to lease their EV and then buy it out.
Are EVs still good to lease after the tax credit’s loss?
Yes, electric vehicles still benefit from significant incentives. That’s not the case for every brand, but it’s certainly the case for some companies like Ford, Hyundai, Kia, and others. Notable brands that raised prices and eliminated incentives included Nissan, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo.
In Tesla’s case, lease prices rose nearly 40%. With Toyota, both EV and plug-in hybrid lease prices went up 54%.
We also cover the best PHEV lease deals separately, for those looking for the ability to go completely electric in more limited situations, like on daily commutes. In the case of the 2026 Toyota RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid, drivers can go 53 miles on EV power.
How often do EV lease prices change?
Like most manufacturer incentives, expect EV lease deals to change monthly. However, unlike vehicles with internal combustion engines (ICE vehicles), we often see a lot more volatility with electric cars from one month to the next.
Generally, prices go down over time. However, lease prices from brands like Rivian and Tesla tend to go up and down in more chaotic ways. Brands that tend to have predictable EV lease pricing include Toyota, Subaru, and Hyundai.
We also find that EVs often have some of the biggest price drops.
Keep in mind that EVs can benefit from deals you won’t find on ICE cars. For example, Tesla sometimes has free Supercharging offers based on time or mileage. In April 2026, the brand introduced a year of free Supercharging on the Model 3.
Which electric cars are the best ones to lease?
The Hyundai IONIQ 5, Hyundai IONIQ 6, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and Honda Prologue are often among the best EVs to lease.
In the case of the IONIQ 5, Hyundai often has lease incentives worth over $10,000 off MSRP.
Is now a good time to lease an electric car?
It’s still a good time to lease, but only if you choose carefully. Many automakers are still offering good deals and incentives to compensate for the loss of the tax credits. In some cases, car brands adjusted their strategies to lower sticker prices and bolster EV financing incentives.
For example, the 2026 Kia EV6 got a nearly $6,000 price cut on some trims. The 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 also got price cuts, enabling it to start at just $35,000. We’ve even seen strong financing deals after the tax credit’s loss, like one that enabled IONIQ 5 prices to dip to $25,000.
Alternatively, the biggest EV rebates can offer double-digit discounts worth nearly 30% off MSRP in some cases.
You may also be able to score bigger savings when switching brands with conquest cash incentives. The best loyalty discounts also offer special discounts for staying with the same automaker.
EV rebate vs. lease incentive differences
Oftentimes, the incentives for buying and leasing EVs can be quite different. We track the biggest EV rebates separately. In one of the most extreme cases, the IONIQ 5 often has no rebates when buying one, but double-digit savings on leases.
What are EV lease disposition fees?
A disposition fee is essentially a turn-in fee that lessees have to pay at the end of a lease. It’s different from an acquisition fee, which is usually paid upfront on a lease. The disposition fee is usually several hundred dollars.
Toyota, for example, has a $350 disposition fee on its Tacoma pickup that is due at lease end. That’s the same disposition fee that you’ll find on a Toyota bZ.
