Just 3 nationwide retailers sell as many used EVs as the next 225 dealership locations combined.
EV-specialized dealers are selling vehicles in about 29 days, compared to 59 days for the average dealer, while earning roughly a 5% price premium. That shows just how much specialization matters in a market where the right inventory and expertise can make a major difference.
I sat down with @MittenHawk to talk about why used EV sales remain concentrated among a small group of dealers and how the wholesale EV marketplace is evolving.

Had a blast talking EV road trips, ranting about China EV threat, sleepy OEMs and CA’s new $3500 EV credit with Dana Hull and my pal @MittenHawk on his great Autotown pod direct from Detroit, MI USA. Here’s the video version… also on Apple pod + Spotify:

UAW strike; AI in design; record low consumer confidence; high gas prices and solid auto sales.
Hyundai Motor Group will make the Kia Sportage hybrid at the so-called Metaplant near Savannah, Georgia, Kia America CEO Sean Yoon said at NY auto show.
As gasoline approaches $4 a gallon, EV sales are surging at dealerships, according to Catalyst IQ.
(One might assume the same for Tesla.)
