Electric Vehicles

Mercedes-Benz had a rough EV sales year in 2024 in the US, so it’s hitting the reset button this year. To lure buyers back in, the automaker is already rolling out sweet discounts on its 2025 EVs.

After a record-breaking year for electric vehicles, automakers are kicking off 2025 with significant discounts. With leases starting under $300 a month, these are some of the best EV deals to take advantage of this February.

With more models hitting the market and massive incentives, electric vehicles are just as affordable, if not more, than gas-powered cars. However, with Trump’s transition team reportedly planning to end the EV tax credit, the savings may soon disappear. Check out the EVs you can still lease for under $300 a month in January below.

In 2024, the world sold 3.5 million more EVs than it did in the previous year, according to a new report by Rho Motion. This increase is larger than the 3.2 million increase in EV sales from the previous year – meaning that EV sales aren’t just up, but that the rate of growth is itself increasing.

However, an entire year of false political, media and industry statements might have had you thinking otherwise.

US EV sales will continue to grow in the year ahead, accounting for 1 in 4 vehicles sold in 2025, according to Cox Automotive’s 2025 Outlook.

Once you go electric, you almost never go back to a gas-powered car. According to a new survey from the Global EV Alliance, over 90% of EV drivers plan to buy another electric vehicle after trading in a gas car. Meanwhile, only 1% said they would return to an ICE vehicle.

With US President-Elect Trump reportedly planning to cut federal incentives, EV sales are expected to surge in November and December. Right now, major discounts are slashing upwards of $10,000 to $20,000 off some of the most popular EV models, but that could change in 2025.

As the incentives and discounts pile up, electric vehicle prices often rival, or even undercut, comparable gas models. With new models, like the Honda Prologue and Chevy Blazer EV rolling out, incentives surged to record highs in October as automakers look to fend off the incoming competition and draw in buyers.

Faster progress on energy efficiency is crucial if we’re going to meet the global 2030 goal, but a year after countries pledged at COP28 to double energy efficiency improvements by 2030, the International Energy Agency (IEA) says we’re still falling short.
