The EV Resale Value Estimator projects the future resale value of an electric vehicle based on brand-specific depreciation curves, battery health, mileage, and market trends.
공식
Resale Value = Purchase Price x (1 - Cumulative Depreciation Rate for Year N)
- P0
- Original Purchase Price ($) — Price paid for the vehicle when new
- D(n)
- Cumulative Depreciation (%) — Total percentage of value lost by year n
- BH
- Battery Health (%) — Remaining battery capacity as percentage of original
- M
- Mileage (miles) — Total odometer reading used for mileage adjustment
단계별 가이드
- 1Enter original purchase price and the vehicle year and model
- 2Input current mileage and battery health percentage if known
- 3The calculator applies brand-specific depreciation curves (Tesla, Rivian, etc. hold value differently)
- 4View estimated resale value at 1, 3, 5, and 7-year milestones
풀어진 예시
입력
Tesla Model 3, $45,000, 3 years old, 36,000 miles
결과
Estimated resale: $28,800 (36% depreciation) — Teslas retain value better than average EV
입력
Nissan Leaf, $32,000, 5 years old, 50,000 miles
결과
Estimated resale: $10,880 (66% depreciation) — Leaf depreciates faster due to air-cooled battery
피해야 할 일반적인 실수
- ✕Assuming all EVs depreciate at the same rate — Tesla and Toyota hold value much better than Nissan and Chevrolet EVs
- ✕Not factoring in battery health as the single biggest resale value driver for used EVs
- ✕Ignoring that new EV price cuts (common from Tesla) instantly reduce used EV values
자주 묻는 질문
Do electric cars hold their value?
It varies widely by brand. Teslas retain about 65% of value after 3 years, while some other EVs retain only 40-50%. Overall, EVs are approaching gas car retention rates as the market matures.
What kills EV resale value the most?
Battery degradation is the #1 factor. A used EV with 95% battery health commands a significant premium over one with 80%. New model price cuts also instantly reduce used values.
