What pricing strategy is Carvana using for EV inventory versus internal‑combustion vehicles?

Answer

The EV Trends Report released by Carvana on August 6 2025 highlights the growing share of electrified vehicles (EVs + PHEVs) in its retail mix—now 9 % of total unit sales, driven largely by SUV models. However, the report (and the accompanying Business Wire announcement) does not contain any information about how Carvana is pricing its electric‑vehicle inventory relative to its internal‑combustion‑engine (ICE) inventory.

What the news does tell us

What the news does not tell us

• List prices for EVs vs. ICE vehicles.
  
• Discount levels (e.g., percentage below market, promotional pricing).
  
• Financing or lease incentives that might differ between EV and ICE models.
  
• Any strategic rationale (e.g., using EVs as loss leaders, premium pricing, or bundling with charging solutions).

Implications for your question

Because the press release and the EV Trends Report focus on sales mix and market adoption rather than pricing mechanics, we cannot definitively describe Carvana’s pricing strategy for EV inventory versus ICE inventory based on the supplied information. To obtain that insight you would need:

1. Carvana’s earnings call transcript or management commentary that discusses pricing tactics.
   
2. A separate investor‑relations presentation that may outline “price positioning” for different vehicle categories.
   
3. Analyst reports that have access to Carvana’s internal pricing data or observed price differentials in the marketplace.

Bottom line

• Current information: No pricing strategy for EVs versus ICE vehicles is disclosed in the news excerpt provided.
  
• Next steps: Review Carvana’s detailed earnings releases, investor‑relations materials, or analyst coverage for any explicit discussion of pricing policies.
