Ever dreamt of owning an electric vehicle (EV), dealers and manufacturers are rolling out substantial discounts, making 2024 an opportune time for prospective buyers.
The trend began last summer when an excess of EVs accumulated on dealer lots, prompting industry leaders like Elon Musk to aggressively discount popular models such as the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y.
According to data from Kelley Blue Book, by the end of last year, electric cars experienced unprecedented discounts, with average EV incentives soaring from 2% to 9.8% of average transaction prices within just a year.
These discounts persist into the new year, with the most substantial price cuts observed in the higher-end models.
