The growing used EV market is expanding affordable choices for drivers considering electric. ⚡

A recent Yahoo Autos analysis highlights an important shift: used EV prices are nearing parity with gas-powered vehicles, while more lower-cost EV options continue entering the market.

In March 2026 alone, 44% of used EVs sold were priced below $25,000, up from 39% just a few months prior — signaling growing accessibility for drivers looking to make the switch.

Affordability and choice remain key drivers of EV adoption. As more pre-owned EVs become available across price points and vehicle types, drivers have more opportunities to find an option that fits their lifestyle and budget.

The New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) and Los Angeles County Internal Services Department (LACIS) announced a first-in-the-nation Bi-Coastal Fleet Accord (BCFA) — a partnership between two of the country’s largest municipal fleets designed to strengthen coordination around fleet electrification, charging infrastructure, procurement, and deployment planning. Together, the municipalities represent more than 47,000 fleet vehicles.

Beyond operational collaboration, the accord signals a more coordinated approach to municipal fleet electrification. DCAS and LACIS will work together to share technical specifications for vehicles and chargers to help inform more common standards that reflect municipal fleet needs, while also partnering with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Volpe Center on a joint Clean Fleet Transition Report aimed at identifying opportunities for cities nationwide to advance sustainable fleet operations.

At Veloz, we applaud the growing momentum in local government efforts that increase coordination and implementation of best practices across sectors and regions. Partnerships like this have the potential to help strengthen shared learning and create clearer pathways for long-term EV adoption — not only for municipal fleets, but also for the broader transportation ecosystem. ⚡

Illinois is pairing affordability with charging access — and there’s still time to benefit through May 31. ⚡

Earlier this year, the Illinois EPA extended its EV Rebate Program application window through May 31, 2026, with up to $4,000 available for low-income EV buyers and $14 million appropriated to help expand access to electric transportation.

At the same time, Illinois is laying important groundwork for long-term adoption. A new state law that took effect January 1 requires 40% of parking spaces in condominium and common interest communities to be EV-capable, helping expand residential charging access.

Efforts like these highlight an important part of the EV transition: pairing affordability with charging readiness to help reduce barriers to EV adoption. As more states explore pathways to broaden access, policies that address both cost and convenience will continue to play an important role in helping more drivers consider going electric.

The first quarter of 2026 was a challenging one for new EV sales in California, but a was a near-record one for national used EV sales.

Sales from the quarter added 63,461 new EVs, representing 15.7% of all new light-duty vehicle sales in the state.

The new EV sales numbers reflect a combination of factors, including an increase of new EV sales in the second half of 2025 due to Californians taking advantage of the federal tax credit before it expired, a decrease in overall new vehicle sales in Q1, and the growing uptake of used EVs.

Nationally, used EV sales grew 12% year-over-year, reflecting a market where more affordable options are reaching more buyers at a time when gas prices are soaring.

That growth in used EVs tracks with consumer sentiments. Veloz's message testing research found that EV consideration increased 12 points nationally and 16 points in California after exposure to messaging about savings, across every demographic and political affiliation.

With state and local agencies, along with utilities, across the country stepping up to fill the incentive gap left by the expiration of the federal tax credit, the conditions for continued EV growth — affordability, access, and consumer readiness — were all present in Q1 2026.
