Episode 122: Current Trends in EV Leasing with Experian and Automotive News

The EVs for Everyone Podcast

Melinda Zabritski, Head of Automotive Financial Insights at Experian and Jamie Butters, Executive Editor at Automotive News join the show today for the highly anticipated maiden voyage of the "EVs for Everyone with Experian" miniseries! Press play to hear both Melinda and Jamie's hot takes on current EV trends shaping the electric vehicle market, based on Experian’s State of the Automotive Finance Market Q2 2024 report. EVs now account for 8.35% of new car sales, with over 46% being leased, a significant increase from just 20.9% in Q2 2021. This shift toward leasing over buying is highlighted as a potential game-changer for the EV industry, making electric vehicles more accessible through lower monthly payments. We also talked about models like the Toyota bZ4X and Hyundai IONIQ 5 which have high lease rates due to their competitive monthly costs. So what do you think about leasing an EV? Is leasing on your radar if you're considering making the switch to electric? Tell us in the comments on LinkedIn!
