Audi is taking an unusually strict stance on the return of leased electric vehicles, refusing to accept them back under certain conditions. The automaker has reportedly tightened policies, requiring leased EVs to be returned with minimal battery degradation and no modifications beyond what’s allowed. This move comes as battery concerns and maintenance costs rise, prompting automakers to scrutinize lease agreements more closely. Potential lessees may face higher penalties or even lease termination if vehicles don’t meet Audi’s new standards.
