We don't want to sound alarmist, but it looks like President-elect Donald Trump and his billionaires are planning to kill EV tax credits sooner rather than later — and the prices they're promising won't make cars. cheap anytime soon, either. So if you're in the market for a new EV, now's the time to get a sweet 0% finance deal and get those tax credits (while you still can).
While compiling this list for December, I realized that there are many ways to present this information. “The best EVs to park under the Christmas tree..?” The idea is well supported. “EVs have the biggest discounts..?” Too much research. Finally, I decided to list these 0% finance deals in alphabetical order, by practice.
And, trust me: they will everything take a good look at the big red bow on them. Enjoy!
Acura
The new 2024 Acura ZDX uses GM Ultium battery and drivetrains, but the styling, interior, and infotainment software are all Honda. That means you'll get a solidly built EV with GM levels of parts support and Honda levels of fit, finish, and quality control. All that plus Apple CarPlay and 0% financing for 24-72 months make this (arguably) the best Ultium-based sport crossover yet.
Chevrolet
All three Chevrolet EVs carried 0% financing for the month of December – and they're all winners. The Silverado is an incredibly capable pickup that can be tipped up to 10,500 lb. GVWR, making it eligible for Class 3 incentives of up to $30,000 in some markets and it can tow any horse, boat, or RV you put behind it. .
On the crossover side, both the Chevy Blazer EV and Equinox EV offer their own five-passenger SUV options, with the base model Equinox LT FWD's 319-mile EPA-estimated range dropping to just $27,500 after application . that $7,500 tax credit.
Ford
The Ford F-150 Lightning is a reasonably capable half-ton truck with V2X capabilities that debuted during Texas snowstorms, and ships with aftermarket support. Ford Pro customers buying an F-150 Lightning for sale or public fleet can get even better deals on OG electric trucks — meaning your fleet manager would be crazy not to check one out.
Kia
If you've been waiting for a standard three-row SUV with a good warranty and regular doors, you may have checked out the Kia EV9. You are not alone. Kia keeps setting EV sales records, and the EV9 is helping to drive those sales forward … but the EV9 isn't the only battery-powered Kia to draw fans.
On the sporty side of the store, the Kia EV6 offers supercar-baiting levels of straight-line performance in the top GT trims – even base models offer a rewarding experience behind the steering wheel. Plus, with the updated model coming in 2025, the '24 models are ripe for the picking.
Nissan
The Nissan Ariya is a victim – and, frankly, it deserves better than its position as a big discount and ran in the five-passenger race, given that Nissan has been flying the flag for electrification since the launch of the original LEAF EV. from 2010 two years before Tesla introduced the Model S in 2012. Despite the head start, however, Nissan did not gain enough momentum to stay ahead of the EV Race.
I drove the car to Chicago Drives Electric a few weeks ago, and it seemed like a very reasonable (discount) price to me. With 0% financing for 72 months like I see advertised in all my news feeds? Ariya is a better deal than ever.
Subaru
Despite being a slow-selling item, this Toyota bZ4X EV mechanical twin looks like a solid mid-range electric crossover with outdoor vibes and granola styling that offers more than enough to carry your mountain bikes to the trail or your kayaks to. the river.
Volkswagen
One of the most popular legacy EVs, the ID.4 offers Volkswagen build quality and (in 2024) a Chat-GPT enabled interface. Still, with an affordable base price, fast charging, up to 291 miles of EPA-estimated range, and a 5-star safety rating, the ID.4 offers a value proposition that's hard to beat.
This month, the only way to beat the ID.4's 0% financing for 72 months would be to convince the bank to pay you to buy it.
