How It Works

EV depreciation varies significantly by brand and model. Tesla vehicles have historically held their value best among EVs, retaining about 60-65% of their value after 5 years. Mainstream EVs from brands like Hyundai, Kia, and Chevrolet typically retain 40-50% after 5 years. Budget EVs like the Nissan Leaf have depreciated faster, partly due to older battery technology concerns. The biggest depreciation hit comes in year one (20-25% on average). Key factors affecting EV resale value include battery health, range capability, charging infrastructure in your area, and the pace of new model releases. As the used EV market matures, depreciation rates are gradually improving.
