Join the Coast-to-Coast EVs team to unpack the increasing importance of used electric vehicles to the volatile EV market in North America. With depreciation a major factor in EV purchases and leasing a popular option to protect against outdated tech, finding great deals on pre-owned electric vehicles is becoming much more common.We explore the current market and explain why the years to come promise to be even more fruitful for buyers who prefer pre-owned vehicles. Could these excellent deals on highly capable EVs be the key to unlocking wider adoption at all levels of affordability? Returning guest Darren Orange helps us unpack these topics and walk us through his experience moving from a Chevy Bolt EV to a pre-owned Tesla Model 3 (early ownership video here: https://youtu.be/bAREs8-YnAc?si=NUKoIBUhjlaBwGoT)Time Stamps:0:00 - Start2:18 - Consolidation in the EV Infrastructure Space7:32 - The Future of Freewire Technologies?11:14 - Viewer Intros & Comments15:35 - Used EV Market Strength in the United States17:32 - Darren's Used EV Purchase (2022): Then & Now24:20 - EV Battery/Powertrain Warranties26:00 - EV Depreciation27:30 - Price Fluctuations of Electric Vehicles31:00 - Premium Pre-owned EVs: Pros & Cons34:00 - Used Tesla Model S or New Tesla Model 3?37:43 - Incentives for Used Electric Vehicles43:01 - Recurrent Auto Highlights Used EV Inventory for 202550:27 - Buying Used vs. Leasing New Electric Vehicles55:43 - Pros & Cons of Used EVs1:07:04 - Used EV Edge Cases1:18:05 - Resources for Used EVs1:21:05 - Viewer Comments & Insights1:27:55 - CloseRelated Links:Recurrent Used EV Market Report Q4 2024 - https://www.recurrentauto.com/research/used-electric-vehicle-buying-reportIRS Used Clean Vehicle Credit Info - https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/used-clean-vehicle-creditCox Automotive EV Market Analysis - https://www.cbtnews.com/u-s-electric-vehicle-market-sees-record-growth-as-ev-sales-hit-new-milestones/Jim Farley Fully Charged Interview - https://youtu.be/PGx7AyD9okg
