Want to get rid of leased car, hoping for ideas on options

TLDR: want get rid of my leased ex90 early as it's more trouble than it's worth now. Doesn't seem to qualify for lemon law in my state. Buying out the lease and selling would have me lose $20k. Any other options?

I've had my ex90 for around 18 months. I did pretty well (compared to others) and I only had minor errors and annoyances that didn't usually require a trip to the dealer. That was until 2-3 months ago. Then it had our first GHCA fault. Had that replaced and had the core computer upgrade done at the same time. When I picked it up, I immediately got an error and turned around and gave it back to the dealer.

They did something and it was fine for a week or two, and now started having battery fault errors and cannot drive the car. The first time it went away on its own. But now it happened while out and is being towed to the dealer.

In my state it seems we are past lemon law deadlines by time and mileage driven. We have 18 months left on the lease and with little kids I can't deal with an unreliable car for that long. I don't know if there are any good options though.

First GHCA issue at 1+ year in

I've had plenty of issues with the car. But felt incredibly lucky that charging problems were not amongst them.....until today.

Today, suddenly, it got its first charging fault. It's at the dealer now but I assume it's a GHCA issue. Why it suddenly started up now, after all this time, I don't know. This might've pushed things over the edge towards getting rid of the car early though. There's so much I love about the car, but I think my patience is at its limit.
