I'm paying ~$450/month for my lease now(Hyundai Tucson), but I could probably afford up to $1000/month if it's something I really liked.

I'm paying $599 for my 2024 EV9 with 280 miles

NGL that thing looks like a pop tart box 😂.

Also I definitely don't want/need a 3rd row of seats.

haha it's a godsend with 2 kids/car seats and regular Costco runs

Gotcha! I'm not great with the intricacies of leasing, but take a quick look at Lucid Air. Their site claims "from" $700-730 monthly for 36 month lease. And they're supposed to be ridiculously efficient with great range

If that's not really your jam (I wouldn't blame you), maybe Hyundai Ioniq 6, Kia EV6, Cadillac Luriq, or Polestar 2, probably with my personal preferences in that order

Or take a walk on the sub-300 mile wild side and pick up a used Taycan wagon!

Appreciate all your suggestions!

At the risk of sounding nit picky, I'm not a fan of sedans so the Lucid Air/Ioniq 6/Polestar 2 are out.

The EV6 and Luriq are enticing. The polestar 3/4 is super cool but I hate the no physical climate buttons/huge iPad display.

Honestly the Volvo V60 hybrid is my ideal car if it were full EV and a little cheaper.

Volvo wagons are sexy, with any powertrain!
