consumer technology, data, big data

It’s no secret how much the consumer world has evolved in large part due to technology over the last few years. More than 88 million U.S. consumers use their smartphone to do some form of banking today and 67% of consumers made purchases across multiple channels in the last six months. Banks, lenders, and the entire financial services industry have responded to that change.

So has Experian. Our credit data is a powerful asset that financial institutions can use to power opportunities for consumers. Through improved technology, we can deliver those insights faster. It’s why we integrated the Cloudera Enterprise platform with our Analytical Sandbox™ environment so we can help facilitate solving common industry issues quicker for clients across our Credit Information Services, Decision Analytics, and Business Information Services business lines.

That environment allows financial institutions with data scientists to build models that can crunch huge volumes of data to append with their own customer data to help drive portfolio management, customer acquisitions, and collection decisions. This kind of agility and speed in data analytics is especially important as financial institutions drive more and more of their customer relationships to digital and mobile channels.

We continue to be the backbone of financial progress and empower our clients to manage their data with confidence so they can maximize every opportunity.

Used EV Growth Signals a New Phase of Consumer Purchasing Behavior

The electric vehicle (EV) revolution isn’t slowing down, it’s changing lanes. While recent conversations have seemingly focused on softening demand for new EVs, the used segment has been gaining momentum. According to Experian Automotive’s 2025 EV Year in Review Report, new retail individual EV registrations fell 35.9% year-over-year. Meanwhile, the used retail individual EV registrations grew 25.4% from a year ago. As affordability and growing model availability reshapes consumer behavior, buyers are increasingly turning to pre-owned EVs, which has shown an interesting market divergence that is redefining how consumers are adopting this segment and what it can mean for automakers, dealers, and the overall industry. Key players behind rising used EV demand Notably, Tesla accounted for over half (60.5%) of used retail individual EV registrations in 2025, followed by Chevrolet at 6.4% and Nissan (5.5%). Diving a bit deeper, Tesla made up the top three models of the used individual registrations last year, with the Model 3 coming in at 27.2%, Model Y at 21.7%, and Model S (6.6%). The Chevrolet Bolt EV followed at 4.8% and the Nissan Leaf was at 4%. Tesla’s position as the leading make in the used EV market is a natural extension of its long-standing dominance in new EV sales. The brand’s leadership over the years created a large fleet of vehicles that are now entering the pre-owned market. What the used EV boom means for automotive professionals The growing demand for used EVs can present more opportunities for automotive professionals. Dealers that provide a healthy supply of pre-owned EVs can increase accessibility and play a role in adoption for consumers who are actively looking to purchase, while marketers can emphasize value and ownership benefits. As the market continues to evolve, automotive professionals who understand and respond to these changing dynamics will be best positioned to capitalize on the expanding pool of used EV shoppers.
