EV Deals

Cynics will point at big rebates and claim they mean the vehicle isn’t selling, but that just exposes them as auto industry noobs. A rebate is a powerful finance tool that helps dealers overcome obstacles like negative equity, poor credit, down payment requirements, and interest rate objections – and, ultimately, get a deal done.

If you’re dealing with any of the above, pay attention: these plug-in cars could get you behind the wheel of a new ride sooner than you think!

The 2025 Chicago Auto Show opened this week, and I’ve been struggling a bit with how to approach this story about the decline and fall of what was once the American auto industry’s premier commercial vehicle show – but one thing was absolutely clear: the Nissan LEAF is the best new car deal in Chicago. ***

On today’s exciting episode of Quick Charge, we explore not one but two existing electric truck fleets that crossed the 5 million miles driven mark this year, along with some potentially exciting news for last-minute shoppers looking for a sweet deal on a new Toyota or GMC Sierra EV, and the Electrek EV of the year.

We don’t want to sound alarmist, but it sure looks like President-elect Donald Trump and his billionaire buddies are plotting to kill federal EV tax credits somewhat sooner than later – and the tariffs they’re promising aren’t going to make cars cheaper anytime soon, either.

UPDATE: we’ve got a few new additions for the closing days of 2024, including sweet deals on the Mustang Mach-E GT (above), Toyota bZ4X, and more!

The Cybertruck may have come off the line strong, but it’s already burned through its million-plus reservation list and Tesla is starting to pull demand levers with discounts, leases, referrals, and more. Will it be enough to help spur sales? All this and major waves at VW and Stellantis on today’s thrilling episode of Quick Charge!

On today’s episode of Quick Charge, we know love hurts – but is Elon’s love for convicted felon and sexual assaulter Donald Trump hurting Tesla’s sales? We’ve also got some exciting EV deals and a $27,500 EV with 300 miles of range … and it’s not a Tesla!

The Genesis Electrified G80 is getting an update for 2025, but the 2024 model still embodies just about everything you probably think of when hear the words “luxury sedan.” And now, Genesis is offering huge incentives to clear out its remaining 2024 models.

It’s no Ferrari, but owning a sporty little Fiat 500e is about as close to putting a cavallino rampante in the garage as most of us will ever get. And if we act soon, we could do just that for 30% less money than before.
