How does one make the decision to put $2,250 down and then pay $499 a month for a 24-month lease of an all-electric BMW?
Probably like one makes a decision to put $2,500 down and then pay $439 a month for a 36-month lease of a BMW 135i.
Except when leasing an EV, you calculate in state incentives, and how much your personal savings will be for buying electricity instead of gas. My personal savings would be roughly $200 a month, plus a roughly $2,000-$2,500 state incentive (yours WILL vary). So my actual cost for an ActiveEV lease would be right around $199 a month for me personally.
Seems like a pretty easy decision. If BMW actually include my state, I'd be signing up in a heartbeat.
