In search of: Black Friday EV deals in the US
Spoiler alert: There isn’t much out there compared to previous years. Actually, I did find something – a bona fide ad that really said “Black Friday” on it, from a California dealer we track monthly – but the one and only Nissan LEAF was scooped up shortly after including it on our Electric Vehicle Best Lease Guide. Coincidence? Perhaps. Fortunately for those that have to buy or lease a car ASAP, there are still a handful of electric vehicle deals that are worth considering in this logistically challenged, chip-starved economy that hopefully hasn’t become our new norm.
As always, check our Electric Vehicle Best Price Guide and Electric Vehicle Best Lease Guide for the best deals on EVs in the US.
