Lotlinx’s Q2 2025 Quarterly Vincensus Report finds a $10,000 average price gap between electric and gas-powered vehicles and a $7,000 average premium over hybrids hurt new EV sales while the other two sectors surged.

In a market “fueled by affordability,” analysts report sales of gas and hybrid vehicles increased by 7% from Q1 while sales of EVs declined by 2%. Inventory was not to blame for the disparity: Supplies of EVs (up 22 days to 100) far outpaced the average of all new units (down four days to 61).

Used vehicle day supply also decreased (down two days to 40) from the prior quarter; however, on a year-over-year basis, new and used supplies were up by one day and two days, respectively.

In a release, Lotlinx Executive Chairman Len Short urges dealers to invest in solutions designed to give them an edge in an increasingly competitive game.

“Affordability and VIN-level precision are defining today’s winners,” Short writes. “Our Q2 Vincensus data shows that Lotlinx dealers, armed with real-time, VIN-specific insights, are achieving faster sales, sharper pricing and stronger profits, even as the market gets tougher.”
