This is my first post so sorry if I missed anything. I just got my 2025 Leaf leased yesterday from Boulder Nissan and the price actually is $9/mo. 24 month, 10k miles per year lease. This is the cheapest monthly I've seen in CO.
Total costs:
Dealer fees + sales tax = $2300
Optional damage coverage = $600
Lease return fee = $320

Even in daily operating the amount of brake dust and tire particles distributed into the air is higher than an ICE. Heavier vehicle = harder to stop; harder on tires.
I'd check out recent studies on how awful brake dust is for us.
Toyota Camry: 3685 lbs
Toyota Camry Hybrid: 3580 lbs
Hyundai IONIQ 6: 3935 lbs
250lbs is not enough weight to add additional brake dust and particulates to the air. That's basically an extra american with all their crap. There is no such thing as netzero, there is an environmental cost to making an ICE OR an EV. If you really want netzero take the bus or a bike.
Plenty of articles out "there" lately, discussing that almost half the current EV owners regret their purchase and are going back to gas powered engines asap.
Thumbs down don't change the truth!!..lol

For example, the 2023 GMC Hummer EV, a full-size pickup, weighs more than 9,000 pounds, sporting a 2,900-pound battery. In comparison, the 2023 GMC Sierra, also a full-size pickup, weighs less than 6,000 pounds, according to Kelley Blue Book.
The average weight of U.S. vehicles has already increased from about 3,400 pounds to 4,300 pounds over the last 30 years as Americans have ditched passenger cars for pickups and SUVs, according to Evercore ISI analysts.
Threat level: Safety watchdogs are raising concerns after the recent deadly collapse of a parking garage in New York City called attention to the challenge of creaking infrastructure.
Traffic safety is particularly concerning. In crashes, the "baseline fatality probability" increases 47% for every 1,000 additional pounds in the vehicle — and the fatality risk is even higher if the striking vehicle is a light truck (SUV, pickup truck, or minivan), according to a 2011 study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research.
"Since we're seeing pedestrian and roadway fatalities at record levels, the introduction of more weight into crashes via EVs will complicate any attempts to reduce the ongoing fatality crisis that has showed no signs of abating," Center for Auto Safety acting executive director Michael Brooks tells Axios in an email.
EV battery weights add 25 percent to 50 percent to vehicles than gas-powered cars, proving too much for current road safety equipment.
Crash tests indicate nation's guardrail system can't handle heavy electric vehicles
Battery weights are too much for current road safety equipment, since EVs are 25 percent to 50 percent heavier than gas-powered cars.
Electric vehicles that typically weigh more than gasoline-powered cars can easily crash through steel highway guardrails that are not designed to withstand the extra force, raising concerns about the nation's roadside safety system, according to crash test data released Wednesday by the University of Nebraska.
Electric vehicles typically weigh 20 percent to 50 percent more than gas-powered vehicles thanks to batteries that can weigh almost as much as a small gas-powered car. And they have lower centers of gravity. Because of these differences, guardrails can do little to stop electric vehicles from pushing through barriers typically made of steel.
Last fall, engineers at Nebraska's Midwest Roadside Safety Facility watched as an electric-powered pickup truck hurtled toward a guardrail installed on the facility's testing ground on the edge of the local municipal airport. The nearly 4-ton 2022 Rivian R1T tore through the metal guardrail and hardly slowed until hitting a concrete barrier yards away on the other side.
