John Howard, Director of Product Management at Experian Automotive joined the show today to talk about Experian's Q1 Automotive Market Trends report, focusing on EV trends and automotive industry insights. John highlighted that 76% of EV owners are replacing their vehicles with another electric vehicle, with Tesla owners showing particularly high brand loyalty. Toyota's hybrid strategy also emerged as a notable trend, with the Camry Hybrid gaining significant market share and potentially signaling a *permanent* shift towards hybrid technologies. And don't miss ourTesla Diner menu debate! Yes, things got delightfully unhinged as the we veered off into a discussion about what John and I would order at the new Tesla Diner in LA. Spoiler: no one agreed but everyone’s hungry now. Tune in for a mix of hard-hitting EV insights, and enough diner banter to make you want to pull over for a snack.
