Are leasing companies overcharging customers on EV deals?
Leasing companies claim to be leading the transition to electrification but the data tells a different story.

T&E analysis of used car prices suggests that leasing companies are actually slowing down the shift to electromobility due to their conservative pricing that overcharge drivers that want to lease an electric car.
