Q in Charge - Podcast - S04E07: “The Quiet EV Shift: Why the Market Just Changed Forever”

In this episode of Q in Charge, Joe the Q breaks down a major shift happening quietly in the automotive market—the explosive growth of used electric vehicle sales. With record-breaking numbers, rising consumer demand, and prices finally aligning with gas vehicles, the EV transition is entering a new phase that many are still overlooking. Joe dives into the data behind the surge, the impact of rising gas prices and maintenance costs, and the massive wave of off-lease EVs about to hit the market. This isn’t just about affordability—it’s about accessibility and momentum. As new EV sales slow and used inventory moves faster than ever, the market is clearly splitting. What does this mean for buyers, infrastructure, and the future of transportation? If you want to understand where the real shift is happening—and what comes next—this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
