In any case if I had the opportunity to lease a car for $69 a month I think I'd do that in a heartbeat. Especially if it was an electric car. Lets say you just commute 25 miles round trip to work and your car gets 25 MPH which is relatively common situation. That means you spend about 1 gallon in gasoline per work day. That alone equates to about $70 in gasoline per month. Once you add in the cost of depreciation on the car it makes even more sense to get a $69 lease. Of course you do have to pay for the electricity but thats significantly cheaper than the gas. Also that $2100 in up front fees is a hefty sum. But all in all this would be a pretty great lease deal if you were looking for a good daily commuter option. Now on the other hand a reasonably good mileage older used car would still possibly be a cheaper option overall.
