If you’ve been waiting for the right time to lease or finance an electric vehicle, May 2025 is delivering some of the best EV deals we’ve seen this year. With inventories up, interest rates down, and incentives still active (for now) there’s real value to be found on everything from plug-in hybrids to full battery-electric SUVs.
But, there’s one important detail shoppers should keep in mind. The federal tax credit that helps lower the cost of many electric vehicle leases and loans depends on current policy, and that policy could change. Many EVs today still qualify for up to $7,500 in federal incentives thanks to domestic assembly and U.S.-sourced components.
Right now, several top-selling EVs qualify because they’re built in America, models like the Tesla Model Y, Ford F-150 Lightning, and Kia EV9 are assembled in U.S. factories. Over 70% of EVs currently eligible for the federal credit are made in America, meeting the strict requirements tied to final assembly and battery sourcing. But those requirements only matter as long as the credit still exists. Without it, many lease deals could become more expensive overnight.
And with tariff uncertainty looming over the auto sector, dealers and automakers are pushing to close deals now before potential price increases land.
Below, we’ve broken down the cheapest EVs, best 0% APR finance offers, and attractive loyalty or conquest lease deals across top brands. All terms listed reflect May promotions in Los Angeles and may vary by region, credit approval, and dealer inventory.

Quick Tips: Lease vs. Buy on an EV
- Leasing: Tax credits typically go to the lender, who may apply them as a discount to your monthly payment. That means lower upfront costs but no direct rebate.
- Financing: You may qualify for the $7,500 EV tax credit if you meet IRS requirements. But act fast because this could vanish under proposed policy changes.
