Is there a way to lease a car for a year or two? I want my first car to be electric but it seems too early to buy one right now.

Yes ofcourse. Lots of companies now offer long term leases and you will get a new car. Check out: https://www.revv.co.in/open There are others as well. Zoomcar? Also check out: https://www.leaseplan.com/en-in/ Unlike the US where a lease and an EMI cost almost the same monthly, in India, it will cost you 1.5-2x the EMI from what I have seen.

Thanks for doing the research 👍

IMO buying a used car and reselling it in a year or two would be cheaper than renting one for long term.
