There is a way to do this legally. When the lease
is up just say you lost it or it disappeared one day
and you don't know where it is.
The only thing they can do is make you pay the
leftover value as stated in the lease for a
stolen-wrecked EV. Once they take the payment the EV-1
is yours.
It's only civil so you can't go to jail. And if
they are going to crush them, how much can they say
they are worth after the lease.
I'm not a lawyer so check with yours,
