Many more EVs and plug-in hybrids are eligible for the federal tax subsidy of up to $7,500 — including vehicles built outside North America — as long as drivers lease them or buy used rather than buy new.

Customers who are leasing any of Ford’s all-electric vehicles will no longer be able to buy out the vehicle at lease end to help manage the automaker’s EV battery recycling and materials.

Tesla changed its leasing policy and will now no longer allow customers taking delivery of a vehicle after April 15, 2022, to purchase their vehicle at the end of the lease.

With most auto leases you’ll almost always owe a disposition fee (or turn-in fee), even if you return it in showroom condition.

As manufacturer incentives sink and transaction prices continue to rise, the inventory shortage has also shaken up car leasing.

An "acquisition fee" is a fee charged by an automotive leasing company for originating the lease.
