If you're only interested in the amount you can save, there's no better segment than electric cars. According to iSeeCars research, big questions about battery life affected the sharp drop in prices for electric cars on the secondary market. Electric cars Volkswagen ID.4, Hyundai IONIQ 5, KIA EV6 and Nissan Leaf lose more than 30 percent of their value in the first year of ownership.
However, the “king of depreciation” is the Mercedes-Benz EQS. With an average used EV price of $71,231, buyers can save up to $65,143, or 47.8 percent of the cost of a new car, by buying a used EV.
In previous surveys, price was cited as one of the main factors preventing the growth of electric vehicles on the road in Europe and the US, but iSeeCars data suggests that if buyers are willing to buy used cars, prices for electric cars with mileage are quite reasonable.
For example, after a year, a Nissan Leaf loses 45.7% of its value and costs an average of $18,756. According to the study, the Tesla Model X and Model Y are the leading electric vehicles that have fallen in price the least over the past 12 months. The latter lost 8.3 percent of its value, while the larger electric crossover dropped in price by only 6.9 percent.
