The world seems awfully tinderbox-y these days, what with a heat dome descending over the US, the Strait of Hormuz getting locked down, and gas prices set to climb on rising oil prices. As such, it might be a good time to buy that slick new EV you’ve had your eye on. If that sounds like you, you’re in luck! There are a bunch of great plug-in cars you can buy with 0% financing in June, 2025!

As I was putting this list together, I realized there were plenty of ways for me to present this information. “Best EVs ..?” Too opinion based. “Cheapest EVs ..?” Too much research. “Biggest discount deal ..?” Too individualized. In the end, I went with alphabetical order, by make. And, as for which deals are new this month? You’re just gonna have to check the list. Enjoy!

Acura ZDX

A solidly-built EV with GM levels of parts support and Honda levels of fit, finish, and quality control plus Apple CarPlay? That’s the Acura ZDX, and (through June 30th) you can get yours with 0% financing for up to 72 months, making the ZDX one the best sporty crossover values in the business.

Chevy Brightdrop ZEVO

GM Authority is reporting that the $25,500 discount rolled out to Chevy Brightdrop dealers nationwide has been extended through June 30th on both the Zevo 400 and 600 models, and that the massive Brightdrop price drop is stackable with up to $3,000 in Costco member savings plus 0% interest financing.

If you’re looking for a new truck for your business or even a unique #vanlife ride with zero emissions, modern tech, and a nationwide dealer network, GM makes that $130 Executive membership seem like a no-brainer.

Every electric Chevrolet

Chevrolet is offering 0% financing for up to 60 months on all three of its remaining 2024 model year Ultium-based EVs – and they’re all winners. The Silverado can be spec’ed up to a 10,500 lb. GVWR, making it capable enough to tow whatever horse, boat, or RV you put behind it.

On the crossover side, both the Chevy Blazer EV and Equinox EV each offer their own takes on the five-passenger family SUV, with the cost of base model Equinox LT FWD models with 319 miles of EPA-rated range dropping to just $27,500 after you apply the $7,500 Federal tax credit (which, for now, is still a thing).

Dodge Charger Daytona

Dodge dealers are hoping that at least a few muscle car enthusiasts with extra cash will find their way to a Dodge store and ask for the meanest, loudest, tire-shreddingest thing on the lot without caring too much about what’s under the hood. For them, Dodge has the new electric Charger, and Dodge will help get the deal done on its latest retro-tastic ride with 0% interest financing for up to 72 months!

Ford Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning

This month, you can get a killer deal on a new Ford Mustang Mach-E, with 0% interest financing for up to 72 months on the sporty plug-in pony car.

If you’re looking for something more practical, the Ford F-150 Lightning is a reasonably capable half-ton truck with V2X capabilities that first proved themselves during Texas’ 2021 ice storms, when they backed up people’s homes while they waited for power to get restored. Ford Pro customers buying an F-150 Lightning for their commercial or public fleet also get Ford’s support in sourcing grants and incentives – meaning your fleet manager would be crazy not to take a serious look at this electric pickup.

GMC Sierra + Hummer EVs


2025 GMC Sierra

Another legacy brand with a solid Powerwall option, the big Ultium-based EVs from GM’s commercial truck brand are seriously impressive machines, with shockingly quick acceleration and on-road handling that seems to defy the laws of physics once you understand that these are, essentially, medium-duty trucks. This month, GMC is doing its best to move out its existing inventory, so if you’re a fan of heavy metal you’ll definitely want to stop by your local GMC dealer and give the Hummer EV a test drive.

Hyundai IONIQ 6


Hyundai-IONIQ-6-price-2024

From some angles, the Porsche influences in the Hyundai IONIQ 6′ design are obvious – but not so much so that it seems like a copy of anything. It’s aerodynamically efficient, comfortable, quick, offers up to 361 miles of rangecan charge just about anywhere, and now through June 30th, it’s available with 0% financing for up to 48 months.

Jeep Wagoneer S


Jeep-Wagoneer-S-Limited
Electric Jeep Wagoneer S; via Stellantis.

With some dealers advertising massive $25,000 discounts, the Jeep Wagoneer S is a confusingly named EV diamond in the rough. This high-riding crossover rides on a lifted version of the same Stellantis platform as the Dodge Charger, and seems more than ready to deliver solid range and on-road performance.

With those killer deals and 0% interest for up to 72 months through June 30th, the Wagoneer S might just be the best Jeep deal you’re going to find this month!

Lexus RZ


Lexus-lease-cash-RZ

Starting at $55,175, the Lexus RZ promises up to 266 miles of EPA-rated range from a 72.8 kWh battery back in the “base” RZ300e (and 224 from the top-shelf RZ450e, shown above). With up to 308 hp and over 195 lb-ft of instant, all-electric torque, the RZ promises to be one Lexus’ zippier rides in any trim.

US News is reporting that remaining 2024 and ’25 Lexus RZ models qualify for 0% financing for up to 72 months in some regions.

Nissan Ariya

I’ve already said that the Nissan Ariya didn’t get a fair shake. If you click that link, you’ll read about a car that offers solid driving dynamics, innovative interior design, and all the practicality that makes five-passenger crossovers the must-haves they’ve become for most families. With up to 289 miles of EPA-rated range, Tesla Supercharger access, and 0% interest from Nissan for up to 72 months, Nissan dealers should have no trouble finding homes for these.

Tesla Model 3

Say what you will about Elon Musk, we wouldn’t be here talking about EVs at all if it wasn’t for his marketing brilliance, bravado, and sheer force of will. Beyond that, Tesla simply offers as superior ownership experience through total software integration, unfettered access to the Supercharger network, and the best EV route-planning software this side of Chargeway.

If you can stomach being associated with Elon (or have an inside line on some spare Honda badges), you can get a new Model 3 for 0% interest or 0.99% with $0 down if you apply the $7,500 Federal tax incentive at the point of purchase.

Toyota bZ4X


Toyota-GM-EV-battery-plant

Toyota is updating its bZ4X with a new name and a slightly updated look for 2026, but the 2025 model is still a solid mid-sized contended that packs Toyota’s reputation for reliability with a staggering three decades of modern EV battery know-how that goes back to the OG Prius launched in 1997.

With an updated bZ waiting in the wings, the current bZ4X EV might be the best deal in Toyota’s current lineup with big discounts on remaining 2024 and 2025 model year bZ4X crossovers happening all month long.

VW ID.4

VW ID4.

One of the most popular legacy EVs, the ID.4 offers Volkswagen build quality and a Chat-GPT enabled interface. Still, with a relatively affordable base price, lickety-quick charging, up to 291 miles of EPA-rated range, and a 5-star safety rating, and 0% interest financing for 72 months, the ID.4 offers a value proposition that’s tough to beat.

Disclaimer: the vehicle models and financing deals above were sourced from CarsDirectCarEdge, and (where mentioned) the OEM websites – and were current as of 23JUN2025. These deals may not be available in every market, with every discount, or for every buyer (the standard “with approved credit” fine print should be considered implied). Check with your local dealer(s) for more information.

Momentum unveils upgraded Vida E+ e-bike with throttle and bigger motor

Momentum unveils upgraded Vida E+ e-bike with throttle and bigger motor

Momentum, the lifestyle-focused urban bike brand under Giant Group, has just launched the latest version of its popular Vida E+ electric bike – and this one’s all about making e-biking smoother, safer, and more accessible to riders of all experience levels.

The updated Vida E+ features a new 500W SyncDrive Move S motor offering 60Nm of torque and pedal assist up to 28 mph, designed to provide natural-feeling power whether you’re cruising to work or just exploring around town. The system uses a combination of sensors to analyze torque, speed, and cadence, automatically adjusting power output to match your pedaling effort.

According to Momentum, the motor engages with as little as 4Nm of pedal pressure and just 10° of crank movement, giving riders what they describe as an ultra-smooth and effortless start every time.

A new optional throttle adds another layer of convenience, letting riders cruise at speeds up to 20 mph without pedaling, which should be perfect for hills, traffic-heavy starts, or when you just want to relax and take it easy on the way home. The bike’s EnergyPak 700 battery provides up to a claimed 55 miles (88 km) of range on pedal assist or 43 miles (69 km) on throttle-only riding.

The Vida E+ also leans hard into comfort and safety. It sports a low-step aluminum frame for easy on-and-off, an 80 mm suspension fork, and wide 26×2.4-inch tires for stability and plushness. Four-piston hydraulic disc brakes ensure solid stopping power, while a new automatic motor cutoff feature stops assistance as soon as the brakes engage. The bike is UL 2849 certified, meaning it meets top-tier safety standards for batteries and electronics, which is a growing priority in the e-bike world as more cities and states consider requiring safety certification as a prerequisite.

With support for up to 300 pounds (136 kg) total load and optional racks front and rear, the Vida E+ is also built for everyday utility. And on the tech side, momentum’s RideControl app lets riders fine-tune speed and assistance, lock or unlock the bike electronically, and monitor battery health.

The new Momentum Vida E+ is available now through Giant Group’s nationwide dealer network with an MSRP of US$2,480.

Returning from a recall on its previous bike, Giant Group will now have an opportunity to see how the new version of the Momentum Vida E+ will fare.

VW just nuked its EV lease deals – while rivals sweeten theirs

VW just nuked its EV lease deals – while rivals sweeten theirs

VW’s US EV lease deals just went from hero to zero. Federal tax credits are now dead, the automaker has wiped out up to $12,000 in lease incentives on the ID.4, and ended $10,500 in discounts on the ID. Buzz. The move bucks the trend as other brands continue to sweeten their EV lease offers.

As of September 30, 2025, Volkswagen offered up to $12,350 in lease cash on the ID.4, depending on configuration. That included a $7,500 federal lease tax credit for lessees as Bonus Customer Cash, plus $3,500 to $4,850 in Dealer Lease Cash. It made the ID.4 one of the top EV lease deals around.

On October 1, those incentives vanished. While the ID.4 still has a 0% APR equivalent lease rate, drivers lost more than $12,000 in savings overnight. The ID. Buzz took a similar hit. Last month, the 2025 ID. Buzz offered $10,500 off MSRP between the $7,500 tax credit and $3,000 Dealer Lease Cash. Now, almost all lease cash is gone. VW Credit is offering just $750 in Dealer Lease Cash, and weirdly, not on models with two-tone paint. According to CarsDirect’s lease calculator, the lowest-priced ID. Buzz trim now carries an effective monthly cost topping $1,000 — a considerable jump.

For comparison, the ID. Buzz Pro S was previously advertised at $589 a month for 36 months with $5,999 due at signing, or an effective monthly cost of $756.

The ID.4 lease once cost just $233 a month, making it one of the cheapest EVs to lease. According to updated estimates, that figure is now north of $800 – that’s hair-raising.

Meanwhile, VW’s rivals are going in the opposite direction. Ford extended its Mustang Mach-E lease deals through early January. Subaru’s updated 2026 Solterra still qualifies for the $7,500 lease credit, and Jeep replaced the expiring EV lease credit with equivalent bonus cash.

If you really want a Volkswagen, though, there’s some good news: financing deals haven’t changed. The 2025 ID.4 continues to offer 0% APR for 72 months, and buyers of the ID. Buzz can still get up to $3,250 in Bonus Customer Cash through November 3, a perk unavailable to lessees.

It kinda seems like VW doesn’t want to lease their EVs anymore…?? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
