Hey so I’m looking at getting an EV but noticed a lot of ineligible tax credit models give you the credit in the lease as a cash reward/rebate? Would it be possible to lease the vehicle then immediately buy it out ? If I’m doing this does the terms of said lease even matter when doing that initially ?

Which vehicle brand?

You should realize that a number of EV manufacturers have discontinued lease buyouts so this strategy wouldn't work regardless.
