From record owner satisfaction to a booming used EV market, the latest EV industry trends all point to one thing: now is the perfect time to experience electric driving — without the commitment of ownership.
The EV Market Is Shifting — And It's Good News for Drivers
The first quarter of 2026 is telling a fascinating story about the electric vehicle landscape. Despite the end of federal EV tax credits and a turbulent policy environment, EVs aren't losing their appeal — they're actually winning over more hearts than ever before.
A new JD Power study found that EV owner satisfaction has climbed to an all-time high, with Tesla Model 3 and Model Y leading the pack in overall experience scores. Public charging satisfaction is at record levels, battery electric vehicles are outperforming hybrids in every category, and consumers are increasingly skipping transitional hybrid technology and going straight to full electric. That's a meaningful signal: once people go electric, they don't want to go back.
Used EV Sales Are Surging — But Buying Still Carries Risk
A Q1 2026 report from Recurrent reveals that used EV sales have risen sharply — a counterintuitive finding given the current policy headwinds. At the same time, used EV pricing has become unpredictable: used Teslas climbed 4.3% in value since the federal credit expired, while most other used EVs dropped an average of 3.6%. That's a two-tier market with real volatility for buyers.
This is exactly why renting or subscribing to an EV through Eonrides makes more sense than ever. You get to experience the best EVs on the market — including Tesla Model 3 and Model Y — without locking yourself into a purchase at a moment of pricing uncertainty.
Charging Infrastructure Is Expanding Rapidly
Range anxiety is becoming a thing of the past. Uber recently announced incentives for companies to build EV chargers in driver neighborhoods and high-traffic pickup zones, adding thousands of new charging points to the network. Combined with continued expansion of fast-charging infrastructure nationally, getting around in an EV has never been more practical.
When you rent with Eonrides, you benefit from all of this infrastructure growth immediately — no need to worry about home charger installation or long-term infrastructure bets.
Global EV Momentum Is Undeniable
While US policy has created some short-term uncertainty, the global picture is crystal clear: EV adoption is accelerating. Global EV sales hit 17.8 million units in 2024 — a 25% jump — and are projected to reach 23.7 million in 2025. EVs are expected to account for 27.5% of all global vehicle sales in 2026, growing to over 43% by 2030.
Electric is the direction transportation is heading. Renting an EV with Eonrides lets you be part of that future today, whether you're commuting around the city, taking a weekend road trip, or just curious what the electric experience feels like.
