By The Numbers: Comparing Electric-Car Resale Values

Estimating a given vehicle’s future worth is always an educated crap shoot, but market forces are making it a bigger guessing game than ever.

www.forbes.com

• Average new vehicle retains 40% of value after 5 yrs
• Chevy Bolt EUV: 66%
• Chevy Bolt EV: 55%
• Ford Mustang Mach-E: 52%
• Audi E-Tron: 47%
• Tesla Model S: 46%
• Tesla Model X: 45%
• Tesla Model 3: 44%
• Porsche Taycan: 43%
• MINI Cooper SE: 42%
• Nissan Leaf: 41%
• Volvo XC40 Recharge: 39%
• Tesla Model Y: 35%
• Hyundai Kona Electric: 27%
• Kia Niro EV: 22%

I don't know how Edmunds or KBB came up with their projections, but the availability, class, and MSRP of these vehicles vary dramatically. So a Bolt EUV that holds 66% of its value would go from $34k to $22.4k, while a Porsche Taycan that holds 43% of its value would go from $84k to $36k.
