EV Resale Value & Depreciation Calculator

What will your electric car be worth in a few years? This tool helps you forecast the potential resale value of your EV based on its purchase price, age, and real-world depreciation data.

Frequently Asked Questions

This tool uses a depreciation model where a vehicle loses a certain percentage of its value each year, based on real-world data for specific models where available. Typically, the largest drop occurs in the first year (~15-20%), with the rate of depreciation slowing down in subsequent years.

About Our Data & Calculations

⚠️ All tools on this site are for educational and estimation purposes only. Your actual costs, savings, and performance will vary. Our results are based on your inputs combined with standardized assumptions and data from public sources.

EV specifications (battery size, chemistry, charging speeds, efficiency) are compiled and cross-referenced from leading authorities such as the EPA (US), WLTP (Europe), EAFO, Zap-Map, and official automaker publications.

Figures for new or unreleased models are based on manufacturer-announced estimates and may change. EVZapster assumes no responsibility for decisions made based on these estimates. Always consult your EV manufacturer or dealer for accurate, region-specific specifications.
