Growing Used EV Availability

The used electric vehicle market has matured significantly, with so many used EVs now available for sale across all types of models and prices. An estimated 800,000 used EVs are about to hit the market. This represents a dramatic expansion from even a few years ago when the used EV market was minimal.

Diverse Model Selection

Nearly every EV on the US market is no more than five years old, with many models between three and four years old. Available used models include the Kia EV6 and EV9, Honda Prologue, Cadillac EVs, Volkswagen ID. Buzz, Tesla Cybertruck, Hyundai IONIQ 9, Tesla's four main models, Nissan LEAF, Chevy Bolt, Porsche Taycan, and various Audi EVs. This broad selection provides affordability options across different price ranges.

Market Impact

The expansion of the used EV market is described as a natural result of a maturing market. Many people who bought or would have bought new EVs three or more years ago are now buying or looking to buy used EVs instead. This shift is particularly affecting the US market's new EV sales growth due to the US being further behind in model availability and EV adoption rates compared to other regions.
