On Tuesday, Cherokee Media Group announced the launch of Used Car Brief, a new bi-monthly series designed to deliver fast, focused insight into the trends shaping the used-car industry.

Each edition highlights key developments, emerging challenges, and fresh opportunities across retail, wholesale, and finance — giving you the intel you need to stay ahead.

In the debut brief, which is available now, we turn the spotlight on the red-hot used electric vehicle market. Sales are surging, inventory is expanding, and leasing is fueling a flood of high-quality vehicles into the pipeline.

With affordability improving and supply ramping up, used EVs are quickly becoming a go-to segment for value-driven buyers. But time is of the essence. Federal tax credits on EVs expire Sept. 30, and with them, a key driver of consumer demand. What happens next could reshape the market heading into 2026.

Packed with expert analysis and real-time data from Cox Automotive, Recurrent, iSeeCars, and more, this edition of Used Car Brief breaks down what’s happening now and what’s coming next. It is a must-read for anyone invested in the future of the used-car market.

These reports will be shared with Cherokee Media Group Premium subscribers at no additional cost. To purchase the report, visit reports.autoremarketing.com.
