Off-Lease Volumes to Spike in ‘Complicated’ Used EV Market

The used EV market is expected to experience significant changes in the coming years, with off-lease EV volumes predicted to spike by 230% year-over-year in 2026. After a slight decline in 2025, J.D. Power forecasts a sharp increase in the number of leased EVs returning to the market, Auto Remarketing reports.
This surge could challenge dealers and consumers, as the used EV market remains complicated due to fluctuating prices, fast depreciation, and evolving consumer demand. Navigating these shifts will require careful strategies from dealers, analysts said.
