Lease deals get all the headlines, but 75% of new car buyers still finance their cars, indicating that they want to own their vehicles once the payments are done. If that sounds like you, and you’ve been holding out for relief from sky-high payments, a wave of new EVs are now available with 0% financing — making it one of the best months yet to buy a new EV.

Every month, Electrek readers looking for great deals on a new EV flock to our lease deal posts. Recently, however, the comments have been asking another crucial question: what about EV deals for the people who want to buy, instead of leas?

You asked, we listened. This roundup is for that 75% of new car buyers who choose to finance their cars instead of lease — so here’s a list of all the 0% financing deals on EVs you can get in September, 2025.

As I put this list together, I realized there were plenty of ways for me to present this information. In the end, I decided to present these deals in alphabetical order, by brand name (make). And, as for which deals are new this month? You’re just gonna have to check the list. Enjoy!

Acura ZDX

New for the 2024 model year, the Acura ZDX uses GM Ultium battery and drive technology, but the styling, interior, and infotainment are all Honda, delivering GM-level parts support with Honda-level fit, finish, and quality. Add in standard Apple CarPlay support, 0% financing for up to 72 months, and $7,500 customer cash through September 30th, and the ZDX becomes easily one of the best sporty crossover values on the market.

Chevy Equinox EV

With an impressive combination of affordability, practicality, and advanced features, the Chevy Equinox is a standout EV. And with an EPA-estimated range of up to 319 miles and a starting price under $35,000, it’s no wonder they’re flying off dealer lots.

For well-qualified buyers, Chevrolet is offering 0% APR financing for up to 60 months through GM Financial through September 30th. That offer can be paired with the $7,500 federal EV tax credit (which you can claim at the dealer), along with up to $1,250 in additional discounts for Costco members, depending on membership level.

Dodge Charger

Dodge is hoping that at least a few muscle car enthusiasts with some extra cash will find their way to a Dodge store and ask for the meanest, loudest, tire-shreddingest muscle car on the dealer’s lot without caring too much about what’s under the hood.

For them, Dodge has the new electric Charger with up to 670 battery-backed horsepower. And if you still owed money on the Hemi you just totaled, Dodge will help get the deal done on its latest retro-tastic ride with a $7,750 retail cash allowance or 0% financing for up to 72 months — and that’s before any dealer discounts.

Ford F-150 Lightning

America’s best-selling electric truck offers V2x technology, a nationwide dealer network, a universe of aftermarket accessories, and a look that blends into the crowd. This month, this proven pickup adds 0% interest financing for up to 72 months. Ford Pro customer can get access to advanced telematics and, in some cases, even get help sourcing additional grants and rebates, too.

GMC Hummer EV

The biggest of GM’s Ultium-based EVs are seriously impressive machines, with shockingly quick accelerationplus 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 with 0% financing for well-qualified buyers plus $1,250 in discounts for select Costco members. 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.

GMC Sierra EV


2025 GMC SIERRA EV DENALI

In addition to offering a solid Powerwall alternative, these big Ultium-based EVs from GM’s “three letter bandit” commercial brand are just as impressive as their Hummer stablemates, but one-up the Hummers with heavy-duty towing prowess and the added capability of bidirectional charging baked in. And, like the Hummer, GMC is doing its best to move out its existing inventory of Denali and AT4 model Sierra EVs with 0% financing for well-qualified buyers plus $1,250 in discounts for select Costco members.

Honda Prologue

Like the Acura ZDX at the top of this list, the Honda Prologue was blends the excellent GM Ultium EV platform with Honda sensibilities and Apple CarPlay to create a winning combination. It’s no surprise that it’s one of the top-selling electric crossovers — and to move out as many as possible before the $7,500 federal tax credit goes away, Honda is offering 0% APR for up to 60 plus up to an additional $2,000 in Honda Loyalty or Conquest cash.

Hyundai IONIQ 6

The last of the streamliners, the IONIQ 6 has influences from Ferry Porsche and Raymond Loewy without looking like a copy of either. In addition to being a future classic, it’s efficient, comfortable, quick, offers up to 361 miles of rangecan charge just about anywhere, and (now through the end of the month), can be financed with 0% interest for up to 48 months or $7,500 in customer bonus cash on all trims.

If you’re flexible on color, Hyundai dealers with “aged inventory” will give you an extra $1,000, for $8,500 total incentive dollars on your IONIQ 6.

Jeep Wagoneer S


Jeep's-electric-SUV-dirty
Jeep Wagoneer S; via Stellantis.

The Jeep Wagoneer S is a slick, capable, street-oriented EV that’s been inexplicably saddled with a sloping roof and spoiler that eats away at the electric SUV’s ultimate utility (that’s the “U” part), but if you can get past that minor caveat, this first-ever battery-powered Jeep is ready to deliver. With $7,750 retail cash allowance or 0% financing for up to 72 months before dealer discounts through September 30th, the Wagoneer S might just be the best EV deal going.

Kia Niro EV

Kia is doing a phenomenal job moving its supercar-baiting EV6 and ultra-capable EV9 family trucksters, but the under-mentioned and underrated little Niro EV seems like it could use a little help. To that end, Kia is offering 0% interest financing or up to $7,500 customer cash on select examples of the little urban runabout now through September 30th.

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 or up to $10,000 Customer Cash (that’s not a typo) undecided EV buyers could do a lot worse than to give the Ariya a chance to win them over.

Polestar 3


Polestar's-electric-SUV-cheaper
Polestar 3; via Polestar.

Sleek, Scandinavian, and seriously quick, the Polestar 3 is the lovechild of Swedish brand Volvo and Chinese brand Geely’s billions. As such, it delivers both Scandinavian style and high-tech substance with dual-motor power, a minimalistic, luxurious cabin, and Android Auto baked right in. The Polestar 3 was designed to turn heads while keeping daily driving effortless, and through the month of September, it’s sure to turn even more heads with 0% financing for up to 72 months through Polestar Financial Services and a $10,000 Clean Vehicle Incentive in some markets.

Put it all together, and the Polestar 3 stands out as one of the most compelling premium EV SUV deals of the month.

Subaru Solterra


Subaru Solterra EV; via Subaru.

The first-ever electric Subaru had a rocky start (no pun intended), but this off-road-ready sibling of the Toyota bZ4X seems like a solid mid-size electric crossover with some outdoorsy vibes and left-leaning granola style that offers more than enough utility to carry your mountain bikes to the trail or your inflatables out to the pond. Add in 227 miles of range, some big discounts, and 0% financing for up to 72 months, and this should be a great month for electric Subaru fans to drive home in a new Solterra.

Volkswagen ID.4


Volkswagen-ID.4-lease
VW ID.4; via Volkswagen.

One of the most popular legacy EVs both in the US and Europe, the ID.4 offers Volkswagen build quality and zippy around-town handling. Everyone I know who has one loves it, and VW dealers are getting aggressive with discounts, making this fast-charging, 291 mile EPA-rated range, 5-star safety rated EV a value proposition that’s tough to beat.

This month, get a Volkswagen ID.4 with 0% financing for up to 72 months or up to $5,000 customer cash. You’ll need to do some math to see which offer works best for you.

Verge unveils wild-looking TS Pro electric motorcycle with hubless motor, longer range, and faster charging

Verge unveils wild-looking TS Pro electric motorcycle with hubless motor, longer range, and faster charging

Verge Motorcycles just took the wraps off the next evolution of its flagship Verge TS Pro electric motorcycle at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan, revealing a dramatically upgraded version of its best-selling model. And we’re here to see it firsthand.

The Verge TS Pro first hit the scene in 2022 as a futuristic, hubless-wheeled electric motorcycle packed with power and sleek styling. Now, the company is doubling down with a lighter, more refined, and more powerful version of the TS Pro that improves nearly every aspect of the bike’s design and performance.

At the heart of the upgrade is Verge’s eye-catching hubless Donut Motor 2.0. The patented motor still pumps out a massive 1,000 Nm of torque, but now weighs 50% less, contributing to a total motorcycle weight of 507 lbs (230 kg). That power translates to a 0–60 mph (0-96 km/h) time of 3.5 seconds.

Alongside the motor upgrade, Verge added a new 20.2 kWh battery that delivers up to 217 miles (350 km) of range and supports ultra-fast charging, adding 60 miles (96 km) of range in just 15 minutes. Verge says full charging takes under 35 minutes, and the bike now supports CCS fast charging in Europe and NACS in the US.

Verge also introduced a series of rider-focused upgrades. The TS Pro now sports larger displays, an improved user interface, and better Bluetooth connectivity through its Verge HMI system. The riding posture has been made more ergonomic with a 25-degree angle adjustment, while suspension and damping tweaks promise a smoother ride.

Software takes center stage with the inclusion of Verge’s Starmatter platform, first launched in 2023. Starmatter combines AI, sensors, and OTA updates to tailor each ride and future-proof the bike for new features, no wrenching required.

The updated Verge TS Pro is available for reservation now via Verge’s website and US showrooms, with test rides starting in early 2026. Pricing information to be updated soon.

Electrek’s Take

Verge’s first hubless electric motorcycle took the internet by storm and launched a new style of design. Now the company is showing that its playbook of electric motorcycle innovation is still alive and well. Between the hubless motor tech, blazing-fast charging, and tech-forward design, the TS Pro feels both futuristic and realistic. Sure, it’s still limited in highway range like all electric motorcycles, but for mixed riding, that 20+ kWh pack is going to help alleviate range anxiety – and is twice as large as the pack in my LiveWire, for example.

This is one I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on.

CNBC Daily Open: AI is carrying the weight of the U.S. market

CNBC Daily Open: AI is carrying the weight of the U.S. market

The “everything store” might have secured its biggest customer yet.

On Monday, Amazon announced that it had signed a $38 billion deal with OpenAI, offering the ChatGPT maker access to Amazon Web Services’ infrastructure.

On the one hand, the move isn’t too surprising — a continuation of OpenAI’s spending spree as it looks to secure resources to run its power-hungry artificial intelligence models.

On the other, OpenAI’s turn to Amazon shows that the firm is diversifying from its reliance on Microsoft, which had been its exclusive cloud services provider until this year. That could suggest OpenAI is getting ready for an initial public offering as it looks to signal “both independence and operational maturity,” as CNBC’s MacKenzie Sigalos writes.

Amazon shares surged on the news to close at a record high. Nvidia also had a positive day after Microsoft announced it was granted a license by the U.S. government to export the AI darling’s chips to the United Arab Emirates.

While Big Tech is attracting investor interest, the rest of the market has been rather lackluster.

Even as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite rose on the back of the tech behemoths, more than 300 stocks in the broad-based index ended the day lower — a warning sign that only a narrow segment of the market is faring well.

Cash-strapped governments are increasingly eyeing citizens’ retirement pots — and experts are sounding the alarm

As fiscal pressures deepen from aging populations and pandemic-era debt, governments are increasingly tapping into a tempting source of capital: citizens’ retirement savings.

The trouble starts when governments interfere and tell funds to invest too much at home, which breaks the delicate balance that fund managers have calculated between risk and reward, said Sébastien Betermier, executive director at the International Centre for Pension Management.

BP beats third-quarter profit expectations on higher oil and gas production

BP beats third-quarter profit expectations on higher oil and gas production

British oil giant BP on Tuesday reported stronger-than-expected third-quarter profit as higher crude and gas production outweighed a weak oil trading result.

The London-listed oil and gas major posted underlying replacement cost profit, used as a proxy for net profit, of $2.21 billion for July-September period. That beat analyst expectations of $2.03 billion, according to an LSEG-compiled consensus.

BP’s third-quarter net profit came in at $2.3 billion last year and $2.35 billion in the second quarter of 2025.

“We’ve delivered another quarter of good performance across the business with operations continuing to run well,” BP CEO Murray Auchincloss said in a statement.

“We are looking to accelerate delivery of our plans, including undertaking a thorough review of our portfolio to drive simplification and targeting further improvements in cost performance and efficiency,” Auchincloss said.

The oil major’s third-quarter net debt came in at $26.05 billion, broadly flat from the previous quarter, although up from $24.27 billion a year earlier.

London-listed shares of BP rose 0.5% on Tuesday morning.

Some other third-quarter highlights included:

  • Operating cash flow came in at $7.8 billion, up from $6.3 billion three months ago.
  • BP said it expects divestment and other proceeds to be above $4 billion in 2025.

BP also announced another $750 million in share buybacks over the next three months, maintaining the pace of its shareholder returns, albeit at a reduced level from earlier in the year.

The results come just over eight months after the company launched a fundamental strategic reset.

BP, which has been the subject of intense takeover speculation, is looking to regain investor confidence by slashing renewable spending and prioritizing its traditional oil and gas business.

Investors appear to have broadly welcomed the oil and gas major’s green strategy U-turn, with share prices up more than 13% year-to-date. The improving sentiment has also been attributed to the firm’s leadership shake-up, progress on its cost-cutting program and a string of recent oil discoveries.

BP on Monday announced it had agreed to sell minority stakes in some of its U.S. onshore pipeline assets in the Permian and Eagle Ford basins to private investor Sixth Street for $1.5 billion. BP has previously said it is targeting $20 billion in divestments by the end of 2027.

Last week, British rival Shell reported stronger-than-expected third-quarter profit, citing robust operational performance and higher trading contributions.
