Thinking about purchasing an EV? Don't forget about depreciation

A significant worry for many people considering an EV purchase is the rapid pace of technology advancement. This is exciting - but it also means that technology might be made obsolete faster. That could potentially lead to reduced value for certain EV models in the future - in other words quicker depreciation rates compared to traditional vehicles.

We completely understand this worry. The EV sector is fraught with conflicting information and volatility making it really difficult for anyone to know whether making a purchase is the best option for them.

The Depreciation Dilemma

When you buy an EV, you're making a long-term bet on the value of the technology at that moment as well as future market dynamics. However, with the speed at which EV technology evolves, today's state-of-the-art features quickly become tomorrow's standard issue, affecting the vehicle's resale value. The financial implications of this depreciation can be a sore point for owners looking to sell their vehicle after a few years.
