For the past six months, I’ve been quietly toying around with purchasing a new or new-to-me electric vehicle. I looked into a lease of several on-the-lot EV specials and came across a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SE, advertised for a featherweight $89 per month, for 24 months. Of course, after taxes, fees, and my not-tier-one credit, the final price came to a little over $325 a month for a 10,000-mile short-term lease.
