    Used EVs Are the Best Deal Right Now with Alex Perdikis

    The incentive rollercoaster created a challenge—but also an unprecedented opportunity for EV shoppers. Alex Perdikis, CEO of Koons Motors (Ford, Lincoln, Mazda) in the D.C. metro area, breaks down why 50–60% first-year depreciation on EVs is creating some of the best values in the automotive market—often outperforming ICE vehicles at the same price point. In this episode, Alex shares his dealer playbook for the current market: lease new EVs to hedge depreciation, buy used to capture incredible value, and consider PHEVs as powerful transition vehicles. Plus, what he learned seeing Chinese EVs in France that has him excited (and concerned) about the future of American manufacturing.

    Why EV Leasing Is A Double-Edged Sword with Jessica Caldwell

    The federal EV tax credit expired on September 30th, 2025. Did the market collapse? No, but it did reveal who's really buying electric vehicles and why. In this episode of EV Insider, host Scott Case sits down with Jessica Caldwell, AVP of Insights at Edmunds, to unpack what happened after the incentive ended and what it means for the future of EV adoption in America. What We Cover: ✅ The "EV Reset" – How consideration dropped 30% overnight (but didn't disappear) ✅ Why EV lease rates are STILL 60% (and why that might be a good thing) ✅ The surprise winner: Used EVs are selling faster than used gas cars ✅ What Jessica's watching in 2026: New models, Tesla drama, and the Nissan LEAF comeback ✅ The brand loyalty gap – Why EV buyers are up for grabs Key Insight: EV shoppers today are less payment-focused and more experience-driven than the lease-chasing cohort of late 2025. This shift could actually strengthen the market long-term. About Jessica Caldwell: Jessica leads the Insights team at Edmunds, one of the nation's leading automotive research and shopping platforms. With deep expertise in consumer behavior, market trends, and data analysis, she's become one of the most trusted voices on the EV transition.
