Summary
Electric vehicles depreciate differently than gas cars. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore why a 2023 Tesla Model 3 lost roughly 45 percent of its value in its first three years, compared to about 35 percent for a comparable Toyota Camry. They unpack the role of battery warranty transfers, software lock-in, and federal tax credit eligibility on used EV pricing. Lucas cites data from a 2026 iSeeCars study showing that the Nissan Leaf now holds its value better than some luxury sedans, while Luna questions whether the depreciation curve is flattening as the charging network expands. They also discuss how insurance costs and repair complexity factor into residual value calculations, and what this means for fleet buyers and leasing companies. If you've wondered whether a used EV is a bargain or a lemon, this episode gives you the numbers and context to decide. #UsedEVs #EVDepreciation #TeslaModel3 #NissanLeaf #iSeeCars #BatteryWarranty #TaxCredits #ResidualValue #FleetBuying #CarLeasing #ChargingInfrastructure #InsuranceCosts #RepairCosts #Economics #ClimateEconomics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #GreenTransportation Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
