Should you buy out your electric car lease? EV buyout math is the most lopsided on the road. Here is how to tell if it favors you, in under a minute.

Your buyout price was guessed years ago, before EV values swung hard. Some EV lessees hold serious equity. Others are being offered the car for thousands over its street price.

The battery worry is smaller than you think: federal rules require at least eight years or one hundred thousand miles of coverage, and it transfers with the car.

You already know this EV's real range, your charger is on the wall, and the running costs are proven. Nobody is better positioned to own this exact car than you.
