Every week we scan the best leasing deals available for electric cars. Unless we say otherwise, all the prices quoted are for three year contracts on a personal lease with 8,000 miles per year with an advance payment (deposit) which is the equivalent of of six months’ payments. The prices are correct at the time of publication (3rd January 2025).

This week's best electric car lease deals

After last week's sharp rise in prices there is some desperation returning to the lease market - and that means the bargains are back. As usual, it the Nissan Leaf which looks hilariously cheap. The last (surely?) of company's big stockpiles are now £186 per month, although they have been as low as £165. That higher price is for the top-of-the-range Tekna version, but don't expect much choice of colour. It still looks temptingly cheap though and is less per month than any other car of any type, even undercutting the likes of the Dacia Spring and Citroen Ami. 

The next return to the charts is from the Vauxhall Astra, which is £236.07 per month for a GS Sport Tourer. We think that's more tempting than the hatchback, which is only £2 a month cheaper.

If you want space though, the biggest bargain (literally) is a car we haven't even driven yet, so can't wholeheartedly recommend it. The Maxus MIFA 9 is a huge seven-seat MPV which is pitched as a cheaper alternative to the Mercedes EQV and costs just £343.51 per month on our terms. That seems like a lot of metal for the money, but if you can live without the extra pair of seats then a Volkswagen Buzz looks more attractive to us, especially as it's only a little more at £349.80 for a nicely-specced Style Pro.

Or would you prefer something with four-wheel-drive for the winter? The Nissan Ariya Evolve e-4ORCE 87kWh is one of our favourites, and is £324.76 per month. 

At the cheaper end of the scale, the Ora 03 has made a comeback to the value chart at £238.80 a month. It's the Pure+ version though, so doesn't seem great value when you could have a Citroen E-C4 for just a few quid per month more - £241.45.
