Hyundai is keeping the savings going after extending its EV deals yet again. With leases starting as low as $179 a month, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 is hard to pass up right now.

Hyundai extends IONIQ 5, IONIQ 9 lease deals

After a “breakout” month for IONIQ 5 sales in August, Hyundai looks to keep the momentum rolling. At least for another month.

The Hyundai IONIQ 5 remains a top-selling EV in the US, and might be your best bet if you’re looking to go electric.

Through its Hyundai Getaway sales event, the 2025 IONIQ 5 was listed for lease for as low as $179 per month in August. Although the deals were set to end on September 2, Hyundai has extended them until the end of the month.

The 2025 IONIQ 5, now with more range, an NACS port, and a stylish new design, can still be leased for just $179 per month.

That’s for the Standard Range SE trim with a driving range of 245 miles. The extended range IONIQ 5 SE, with up to 318 miles of range, is available from $199 per month.

You can even snag the souped-up XRT trim for under $300 a month right now. All the offers are for a 24-month lease with $3,999 due at signing.

The deals include the $7,500 EV Lease Bonus, which is also set to expire at the end of September. With the bonus, the net cap cost drops to just $24,380 (SE Standard Range RWD model).

Hyundai also extended the offers for its new three-row electric SUV, the IONIQ 9. Leases for the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 start at $419 per month. If you choose to finance it, Hyundai is offering a $5,000 cash bonus on all trims.

Both the 2025 IONIQ 5 and 2026 IONIQ 9 are built at Hyundai’s EV plant in Georgia, enabling them to qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit. With the credit set to expire at the end of September, the savings will likely disappear. It will be up to the automakers to step in with significant incentives to keep lease prices as low as they are.

Ampion Renewable Energy has introduced a new way to expand community solar access – one that breaks barriers by crossing state lines.

The company just launched Synthetic Community Solar, a tool that lets developers extend the financial benefits of solar projects to subscribers in other states. That’s a big shift from the usual model, where subscribers need to live in the same utility territory as the solar farm. This new approach also helps low-income households save more on energy bills while giving developers a faster route to federal tax incentives.

Here’s how it works: When a solar farm is built in one state, Ampion works with utilities to transfer the financial benefits through solar credits to income-qualified households in another state. For example, a 2.5 MW project in Maine already provides Illinois subscribers with up to 20% savings on their electricity bills.

For developers, the timing is critical. The Inflation Reduction Act gives bonus tax credits, known as Category 4 Investment Tax Credits (ITCs), to projects that deliver at least half of the financial benefits to low-income households. Synthetic Community Solar makes it easier to meet those requirements, which in turn improves project economics and long-term site viability.

This model is especially useful when a project is in an area where recruiting low-income subscribers is expensive or challenging. Instead of letting credits go unused, developers can cross state lines, making the project more financially sustainable while supporting households that need savings the most.

Ampion’s CEO and founder, Nate Owen, said the goal is to solve a geographic barrier that has historically limited community solar growth. By bridging programs across different states, the initiative supports the company’s aim to make renewable energy accessible “everywhere, for everyone.”

With the IRA’s major incentives set to expire, solutions like Synthetic Community Solar could help keep projects viable while spreading the financial benefits of clean energy further.
