Any new car will lose 40-50% of its cost in the first three years. With EVs the loss may currently be slightly greater due to:
- technology rapidly evolving - 3 years old may soon be "last generation" tech
- premium price paid three years ago when supply of EVs was scarce
I don't think this a permanent problem - if/when charging capacity exceeds demand the market may rapidly change to penalise ICE purchases - fewer people will want them.
