We are loving the December deals on two excellent two-row luxury EVs.

Polestar 3 for $756/mo for 27mos w/10k miles/ year including all upfront $.

BMW iX for $841/mo for 36mos w/10k miles/year including all upfront $.

Better value than gas options from BMW, Volvo, Mercedes, Lexus.

Nissan's Northern Lights Metallic: An all-timer paint color. Especially on the now-cancelled Ariya.

But Nissan's sending it off into the aurora borealis with a mega 0% financing offer. Is a December deal on an Ariya written in the stars?

First of all, obsessed with your Jeep emoticon. Brought us back to early Internets.

Would have liked to see this a little less lux on the inside and a little lower MSRP. Looking forward to the base trims w/250 range. Love that it looks just as boxy and Jeep-like as all the teasers.

New in our newsletter: letter.lanekeep.com/amazon-sells...

Lanekeep exists in the gap between the algorithm and the purchase. We're the humans who help you figure out which car, not just how to buy it.

We help you factor in your commute, your family size, your charging access, and whether you actually need 4WD.

You can now buy a certified pre-owned Ford the same way you buy... everything else on Amazon.

Which sounds great until you remember that buying a car isn't like buying a Bluetooth speaker. There's no "Customers who bought this Mach-E also bought..." algorithm.

All-electric: Lease for $269/month + 39 mos w/$4,699 due at signing or 0.9% financing for 48 months

Gas: Lease for $319/month + 39 mos w/$4,699 due at signing or financing as low as 0% for 48 months

Looking at cars this weekend?

What are you checking out? What's the best deal you've seen?

We're loving deals on the Mini Countryman, a superbly fun-to-drive crossover with a lux interior + gimmicky infotainment that isn't for everyone.

In this week’s episode Imogen talks to behavioural economics expert Rory Sutherland who explains why understanding human psychology might be more important than building bigger batteries. Rory, who… Why Electric Cars Need Behavioural Science, Not Bigger Batteries! With Rory Sutherland

That's why we encourage getting as much time behind the wheel of an EV as you can, especially if you're considering one for the first time.

Sharp behavioral insight from Rory Sutherland on the #EverythingElectric podcast:

The worst thing you can do is lend someone an EV for 3 days. They hit the friction points without getting to the "holy shit this is amazing" part.

But give them 3 weeks? They'll never give it back.

Industry panel at #ElectrifyExpo last month: "We're seeing massive focus on the used EV market over the next 5-6 quarters." - Liz Najman from Recurrent

Translation: If you've been priced out of new EVs, your window just opened. We can help.

Pre-owned EVs under 3 years old have 6-7 years left on battery warranties and are now 50% cheaper than new.

Get a lightly-used well-optioned EV with depreciation already paid for. Sounds like a sweet deal.

We can help you find one.

Are You Strong Enough? One Simple Test For Plug-In Hybrid Life Remember life before Apple Pay? (I see you, too, Android people, but honestly I don't know what you use. But, remember life before...that?) Checking to make sure you had your bulky wallet somewhere on...

Plot twist: Your “eco-friendly” plug-in hybrid could be producing as much as 5x the advertised emissions and costing you $530/year in wasted gas.

A major reason: most automakers gave their PHEVs weak electric motors.
