Story summary
  • The United States will see a significant influx of off-lease electric vehicles starting in late 2024, peaking around 2028, due to substantial leasing subsidies created by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
  • As these leases expire, the increased availability of used EVs will likely lower prices and benefit cost-conscious buyers.
  • Market expert Sam Abuelsamid notes that battery-life concerns are unfounded, and this could boost adoption of affordable electric vehicles.
