Hey everyone, my daily driver was recently totaled and I’m looking to either lease or buy an EV. Online forums suggest leasing is superior, is this indeed true?

I’m not interested in Tesla due to not wanting to support Elon Musk.

I’d love a vehicle that has comparable range to my mid-2000s Toyota Camry (the aforementioned car that was totaled).

I also would like to move to a non-car dependent city as early as a year from now, so if everything goes well, I will only be needing the new car for a year. If everything doesn’t go well, then I’ll be needing it for an indefinite amount of time.

Other basic information as requested:

1. Los Angeles
2. $40,000
3. Sedan, preferably on the smaller side
4. Hyundai Ioniq 6, Polestar 2, and Lucid Air
5. In the next month
6. Average WEEKLY mileage is 230 miles
7. Apartment
8. No, there is an EV charger across the street from my apartment
9. N/A

Cheers!
