EV Depreciation

This is the MGUY Australia video The losses are STAGGERING

I guess you could argue that regular cars rely on a chemical reaction as well, but it is fairly simple. The burning of fuel.

In contrast, the battery pack of an EV consists of hundreds, potentially thousands of individual lithium-ion cells, all connected together to provide enough energy quickly enough to power the electric traction motors. And as with any lithium ion battery, like the one in your phone or laptop, for example, there is a natural degradation which occurs during normal use.

The video is 11 minutes long.

The articles referenced in the video are:

• The 10 fastest-depreciating cars 2026
• The 10 slowest-depreciating cars in 2026

The articles are from The United Kingdom, so a couple of the brands are not familiar to American drives. DS Automobiles is a brand that is all about electric cars, and Vauxhall, which I have heard of but know nothing about. Some well known brands are included, as a Mercedes EV is on that list.

The slowest-depreciating cars are mostly sports cars, with the Mercedes G-Class, Mercedes V-Class, and the Rolls-Royce Cullinan thrown in for balance.
