A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
Does the federal $7,500 EV tax credit apply to leased cars?
Yes, but not directly to you. On a lease, the $7,500 federal clean vehicle credit goes to the leasing company (the vehicle owner), not the lessee. However, leasing companies are required to pass the credit through to consumers by lowering the capitalized cost of the lease. In practice, this is why EV lease payments are often significantly lower than equivalent purchase payments. Ask your dealer or broker to show exactly how the credit is reflected in your deal.

I can’t thank Sean enough for making my transition seamless and completely stress-free. What can often feel like an overwhelming process was made easy and comfortable from start to finish. He took the time to truly understand my wants, needs, and budget without any judgment, and kept me informed every step of the way. His humor and authenticity were an added bonus and made the experience even more enjoyable. Going from one lease to another in under a week felt effortless and refreshing, even without stepping into a dealership. See you in three years, Sean!

My car leasing experience with Vantage was fantastic. Sean took an overwhelming decision and process and made it so easy. He was available morning, noon, and night as well as weekends. He never pressured me and simply gave me facts and possibilities and recommendations. The experience was really amazing from the start and I’m extremely grateful for his help in making the car leasing process manageable. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone looking to buy or lease a car. Sarah

I’ve never used a broker to buy a car before and honestly, I was skeptical. But after this experience, I’ll never step foot in a dealership again. I have a demanding job with very little free time, so I simply texted David exactly what I wanted—and that was it. The entire process happened while I was in back-to-back work meetings. I never even had to pick up the phone! It was completely stress-free and I couldn’t be happier with my Maserati Grecale!
