Many luxury EVs are about to get significantly cheaper as we step into 2026. That’s because dealers still have a lot of leftover inventory for 2025 and even 2024 models. As time passes, dealers will want them gone sooner rather than later.
Even with the generous $7,500 federal incentive for EVs out the window, there is good news on the horizon for car buyers interested in going electric. Going into 2026, plenty of dealers have leftover inventory from this year and even last year. And if you know dealers, you know that they’ll want these cars out the door sooner rather than later, which means there are some good deals to be had.
To help guide your hunt for deals, iSeeCars tallied up the vehicles with the most inventory from the 2024 and 2025 model years in a new study. The highest discounts will likely be applied to 2024 models, which have had plenty of time to depreciate, despite still being brand-new cars. According to iSeeCars, the Genesis GV60 crossover tops the list of EVs with the most leftover 2024 inventory in the U.S. Next up is the Dodge Charger, with 20.9% of dealer inventory made up of 2024 models. The Chevrolet Silverado EV and GMC Hummer EV SUV round out the list.
As many automakers have moved on to the 2026 and even 2027 models, these 2024 EVs could enable customers to score a great deal. “The $7,500 electric vehicle incentive was in place for most of the past two years, but it wasn’t compelling enough to find buyers for these 2024 models,” said Karl Brauer, iSeeCars executive analyst. “This is an opportunity for EV buyers to negotiate.”
New EVs with the most leftover 2024 inventory
| Rank | Model | % 2024 Inventory |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Genesis GV60 | 21.8% |
| 2 | Dodge Charger | 20.9% |
| 3 | Chevrolet Silverado EV | 11.9% |
| 4 | GMC Hummer EV SUV | 5.5% |
| 2024 EV Average | 1.3% |
If a newer EV has more appeal—and why wouldn’t it?—you should know that the list of leftover 2025 models is much longer. Discounts for these cars are likely to be lower than for 2024 models, but dealers will still try to make room for the latest and greatest. So if you see something you like, push for more discounts.
The BMW i4 tops the list of leftover 2025 inventory, with dealers’ lots still filled to the brim with it. The more expensive Porsche Macan is second, with 67.8% of inventory made up of leftovers, followed by the Volkswagen ID.4. But the list goes on and includes names like the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV, which is on hold in the United States, the Honda Prologue, Cadillac Lyriq, and Cadillac Escalade IQ.
“With the federal EV incentive gone, dealers have to be even more flexible on their electric vehicle pricing. This is particularly true for EVs that have a high percentage of 2025 model year inventory even as January 1, 2026, looms,” said Brauer.
New EVs with the most leftover 2025 inventory
| Rank | Model | % 2025 Inventory |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | BMW i4 | 89.2% |
| 2 | Porsche Macan | 67.8% |
| 3 | Volkswagen ID.4 | 59.1% |
| 4 | Cadillac Escalade IQ | 47.8% |
| 5 | Genesis Electrified GV70 | 37.2% |
| 6 | Genesis GV60 | 35.3% |
| 7 | Honda Prologue | 34.1% |
| 8 | Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV | 30.9% |
| 9 | Cadillac Lyriq | 30.6% |
| 10 | GMC Hummer EV | 30.2% |
| 2025 EV average | 18.7% |
A discontinued model could bring an even bigger price cut. Cars like the Audi Q8 E-Tron, Mercedes-Benz EQB, and Polestar 2 are no longer being offered as new cars in the U.S., so dealers might be inclined to sacrifice more to get rid of them.
“The colder weather and holiday distractions generally make the end of the year a good time to buy a car,” said Brauer.
The world is constantly evolving and changing, and with it, so are the ways in which we interact with each other. In recent years, there has been a significant shift in the way we communicate, with technology playing a major role in facilitating these changes. One of the most notable changes has been the rise of virtual communication platforms, which have transformed the way we connect with others.
Virtual communication platforms, such as video conferencing apps and social media platforms, have become increasingly popular as more people seek ways to stay connected in an increasingly digital world. These platforms allow us to communicate with others in real-time, regardless of our physical location, making it easier than ever to stay in touch with friends, family, and colleagues.
One of the key benefits of virtual communication platforms is their ability to bridge the gap between physical distance. Whether you’re across the country or across the globe, you can easily connect with others through video calls, messaging apps, and social media platforms. This has been particularly important during the COVID-19 pandemic, when many people have been forced to stay apart from loved ones to prevent the spread of the virus.
Virtual communication platforms have also revolutionized the way we work, enabling remote work opportunities and virtual meetings that can be conducted from anywhere with an internet connection. This has not only made it easier for businesses to operate efficiently in a globalized world but has also provided individuals with greater flexibility in how and where they work.
However, while virtual communication platforms offer many benefits, they also come with their own set of challenges. One of the biggest concerns is the potential for miscommunication, as non-verbal cues and body language can be more difficult to interpret in a virtual setting. This can lead to misunderstandings and conflicts that may not have occurred in face-to-face interactions.
Additionally, virtual communication platforms can also pose security risks, as sensitive information shared over these platforms may be vulnerable to hacking or data breaches. It is important for individuals and organizations to take steps to protect their data and privacy when using these platforms, such as using strong passwords and encryption tools.
Despite these challenges, virtual communication platforms have become an essential tool for staying connected in an increasingly digital world. From virtual meetings and remote work to online socializing and digital events, these platforms have transformed the way we interact with each other and will continue to shape the future of communication for years to come.
