The Numbers Nobody Is Talking About When They Try to Sell You a New Vehicle.
Published by Angie at Rog's Auto Inc.

I am not here to tell you what to drive. That is your business.

But I have been in this trade long enough to believe that people deserve the real numbers before they make a decision that affects their budget for the next several years. So here they are.

How long are Americans actually keeping their vehicles?

The average age of a light vehicle on American roads right now — cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks — is 12.8 years. That number has been climbing steadily, and it is not hard to understand why. New vehicle prices have crossed $50,000 on average. People are doing the math and deciding to hold onto what they have.

Break it down further and the picture gets more interesting.

Passenger cars are averaging 14.5 years in service. Light trucks and SUVs are averaging 11.9 years. These are not beaters held together with zip ties. These are well-maintained vehicles that people have invested in keeping on the road — because the alternative costs a whole lot more.

Now here is the number that should give people pause.

The average age of an electric vehicle in the United States is 3.7 years.

Three point seven years.

Compare that to 14.5 years for a passenger car or nearly 12 years for a truck or SUV and ask yourself what that gap is telling you. People are not keeping their EVs. Whether it is because the technology is changing too fast, the resale market is pushing them out, range anxiety, charging infrastructure, or something else entirely — the data is what it is.

We are not saying EVs are wrong for everyone. Some people love them and they make perfect sense for their situation. But when someone walks into a dealership dazzled by the technology and the promise of lower fuel costs, they deserve to know that the average EV owner is out of that vehicle in under four years — and into whatever comes next.

What this means for the vehicle sitting in your driveway right now.

If you own a well-maintained gas-powered car, truck, or SUV, you are likely sitting on more value and more remaining life than you realize. The people keeping their vehicles 12, 14, even 16 years are not doing it by accident. They are doing it with regular maintenance, honest repairs, and a mechanic they trust.

That is exactly what we are here for.

Before you trade in, before you sign anything, come talk to us. We will tell you what your vehicle actually has left in it — and whether a repair makes sense or not. No pressure. Just straight information from people who have been doing this a long time and have no interest in selling you something you do not need.
