I'm guessing they wrote it like that to distinguish it from it's gasoline counterparts. Definitely should have done it in capital letters, it looks like they bought the name plate from Ebay

Hard to trade in an EV lease though because the resale values are so poor. But if you have $2,500 in mileage overage just tell the dealer they’ve got to absorb it in some way that doesn’t roll it into the new vehicle.

Exactly, and the only thing to focus on is net cost. It doesn't matter at all how the dealer makes the numbers work as long as they do. I've had deals where the dealer has inflated one number that works for to make another number important to them be where it is, the only thing that matters to me is the net cost of the deal. If that's where I need it to be I don't care how the dealer got there.

Did HMF start allowing 3p buyouts again? I though it was leasee was able to buyout (bad idea for the most part) or Hyundai dealers.
Side note reading the T&C on the lease contract does wonders for seasoned customers.
