Now Might Be A Good Time To Buy A Used EV
- The average price of a used EV in the U.S. decreased by nearly $3,000 last month, showing an 8.8% year-over-year decrease while the overall used car market became pricier due to low inventory levels.
- A recent study from iSeeCars highlighted the continuous decline in used electric vehicle prices alongside a general increase in the prices of all used cars.
- Tesla Model S and Model Y saw significant price decreases, with the Model S dropping by almost $9,000 (16% decline) and the Model Y depreciating by $4,945 (14.2% decrease).
- The Porsche Taycan experienced a $10,998 drop (12.7%) in its average selling price, reaching $75,644, making it more expensive than Tesla's models.
- Other models like the Tesla Model X and Kia Niro EV also saw price decreases, with the Model X dropping by $5,292 (8.9%) and the Kia Niro EV decreasing by $1,577 (6.9%).
- Electric vehicles constitute a significant portion of the top 10 models with the largest price reductions, with four Teslas included in the list.
- The significant price changes in used EVs are attributed to factors like being electric vehicles and carrying the Tesla brand, according to Karl Brauer, iSeeCars Executive Analyst.
- The study also compared 1- to 5-year-old used car prices across various segments, showing EVs had the largest decrease in average selling price (-8.8%) compared to other vehicle types like trucks, SUVs, and hybrids.
- Despite EVs historically facing higher depreciation rates, the current market shows a relative stability in used EV prices over the past three months, indicating a better balance between supply and demand.
- Factors like reduced new car production post-COVID and more lease customers purchasing their vehicles at the lease end have contributed to the limited supply of 1- to 5-year-old used cars on the market.
- iSeeCars analyzed 2.4 million 1- to 5-year-old used cars sold in May 2024 and May 2025 to track pricing trends and fluctuations.
