Insights into the EV market
According to Carmoola’s analysis, challenges such as high purchase prices, a maturing second-hand market, and concerns over charging infrastructure are keeping certain EVs from finding buyers as quickly. The blog offers insights for both buyers and dealers on making informed decisions in today’s car market.
Aidan Rushby, founder and CEO of Carmoola, said: “The data highlights evolving buyer preferences and shows where traditional and electric models are finding traction and what particular models are selling like hot-cakes or gathering dust on the forecourt.”
“We’re thrilled to help consumers and dealers alike understand these trends through Brego’s unique data.”
