The interviewer speaks with Claudio Esposito, co-founder and CEO of Carasti, a car subscription service that allows customers to access brand new vehicles on a shorter-term basis, without the need for a down payment or residual value risk.

Claudio notes a huge uptick in customers choosing EVs, citing rising petrol prices and the trend towards EV adoption as driving factors. He notes that subscribing to an EV is a better option than owning one because technology is evolving so fast that a car bought today is likely to become obsolete in 18 to 24 months.

Additionally, renting offers flexibility and allows customers to allocate their funds towards other investments, such as home ownership, rather than a depreciating asset like a car.

They discuss the increase in demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and the impact this may have on the auto industry, including the depreciation of traditional petrol-powered cars. Claudio also explains the benefits of subscribing to a car rather than purchasing one outright, including access to brand new vehicles on a shorter term with no residual value risk.

This is due to the advancement and adoption of technology at unexpected rates which makes Carasti an early adopter and pioneer in the changing dynamics of the auto industry.
