Washington is the first state to prioritize low-cost leases as part of the Washington Electric Vehicle Instant Rebates program, making EVs affordable for all Washingtonians. All EV models qualify for IRA Federal Tax Credits if leased. Washington residents can use the IRA Federal Tax Credit to lease an EV for under $200 a month, with at least seven models available for less than $200 a month.
