They're getting more expensive to lease because their residual value is not nearly as high as leasing companies expected. They're about 20k because:

1. The local secondary market isn't really all the interested in ex-lease electric cars,

2. the usual sales channel of shipping ex-lease cars to Eastern Europe doesn't exist, there's barely a market for electric cars there.

So yeah, now's probably a good time to get a second hand electric car, but if you're leasing it's only going to get more expensive.

3. New EV models have come down in price significantly since 2018 and this drives down the price of a second hand one.
