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.
