๐Ÿ’ก EV Depreciation and Resale Value

EVs depreciate faster in the first 2โ€“3 years than petrol cars (losing ~30โ€“40%), but then stabilise. Battery technology advancement drives early depreciation โ€” buyers want the latest range and features. By year 5, retention rates are similar to petrol equivalents.

Factors that improve resale: popular brand, larger battery (more range), low mileage, and good battery health. The used EV market is maturing rapidly with increasing demand.

A 40,000 EV after 3 years and 60,000 km: estimated retention = 62%, resale โ‰ˆ 24,800, depreciation โ‰ˆ 15,200.
