In the past five years, Carvana’s total EV unit sales have increased by 786%, as of year end 2022 data, signaling more buyers are turning to the used channel for more accessible entries into EV ownership. Carvana sold its first electric vehicle in 2013 and has seen an 150% increase in its variety of used EVs over the past five years, now selling more than 46 EV makes and models as the largest online used vehicle retailer in the U.S.

According to a Cox Automotive Study from June 2023, new EV Buyers are open to a purchase experience that is mostly digital; with 87% open to buying fully online.
