"A lease is a great way for these new EV customers to test the waters on these cars," Ivan Drury, an automotive analyst for Edmunds, told Business Insider.
While EVs still tend to cost about $10,000 more than the average car, monthly payments in July were about $160 cheaper than the industry-wide average.
Affordability is becoming increasingly important in the electric-car market as a wave of wealthy early adopters gives way to more frugal and practical shoppers.
Leasing is a lower-stakes financial commitment than purchasing a car, as the lessee is only responsible for the vehicle's depreciation during the lease term.
