Over the past two years, EVs have gained market share of sales as the government and manufacturers push to increase adoption, with increased investment in development and infrastructure. At the end of July, EVs accounted for 6.9% of light vehicle sales year-to-date, up compared with 5.5% in 2022 and 3.1% in 2021, according to Cox Automotive.
As EVs begin to flood the market, lenders must evaluate how to underwrite and structure EV finance contracts.
