May have been covered before, but first time I've seen this covered in the financial media.

The biggest factor is NJ doesn't charge any tax on EVs! Unfortunately that trick only works in NJ.

That said, it's rather easy to get a lease on a $53k i3 that's less than say a Bolt or a Leaf even though the MSRP is much higher. I managed to get into a 2017 REx in February for $200/mo with only $600 in fees out the door. I did own a BMW in the last 12 months (also an i3) so I got the $2k rebate for that, but that was the only YMMW about my deal. No state incentives here!

I think there are very few scenarios where it makes sense to buy a used i3 right now considering you can get a new one for less or the same total spend, in most circumstances.

@Leasi3: Many thanks for posting the articles. I have not seen them before. Wow, if I could find a lease deal like that, I would jump onto it.
