Is it not a standing rule that when you drive any new car off of the lot that it loses 50% of its value? I agree Electrics have had more of an issue with battery replacement affecting resale value. The fuel savings and environmental benefits outweigh this in my view and happy with leasing my e-C4
31% of all drivers owe more for their cars than they are worth, and a whopping 46% of EV owners are underwater on their loans jalopnik.com/a-third-of-a...
