Why does ford charge 5x the lease rate for hybrids? Doesn't sound like they want to

New technology and high demand. They have enough to do business but not enough for everybody--at a cheap rate. Give it a year or two and they'll be down. Or maybe not. Ford does not have the best head on their shoulders they were lucky a littlle with the F150
 
That would work out to a money factor of around .00475, which is huge. Most standard (non-subvented) factors are around .00265 which works out to about 6.4%. They obviously do not want to lease them, that's not just a supply and demand thing, that's an outrageous rate and shows that ford does not have faith in the value of that car.

Just for clarification, lease rates are not listed in a percentage like 2.9% or 11.5%. Lease rates are money factors which must be converted to rates. Some people, including some ford salespeople will confuse a money factor of 29 for 2.9% and a money factor of 115 for 11.5%. So if you ask the dealer what the money factor is, they should tell you something like .00105 or 1.05 but not a percent.
