NO WAY OUT! Don't Buy This! 8 EVs Are Depreciating Extremely Fast!
Hey everyone! Welcome back to our channel, where we dive deep into the latest trends in the automotive world. Today, we’re tackling a topic that’s becoming increasingly important as more people consider making the switch to electric vehicles (EVs). If you're thinking about buying an EV, you might want to hit the brakes and think twice. While electric cars are often hailed as the future of transportation, some models are turning out to be the worst investments you can make today.

We already knew that cars, in general, tend to depreciate fast, but EVs are taking this to a whole new level. Some models are plummeting in value faster than you can say "battery drain." In fact, a few of them lose nearly half their value in just one year! Today, we're bringing you a list of eight EVs you should avoid if you want to protect your hard-earned money. So, let’s dive in!
Audi e-tron GT – 27% Depreciation
Kicking off our list at number eight is the Audi e-tron GT, a sleek and stylish electric sedan that’s unfortunately not doing your wallet any favors. If you purchase one today, be prepared to lose nearly $30,000 in just 365 days. According to CarWow, the e-tron GT depreciates at a staggering rate of 27% annually.
So, why is the Audi e-tron GT such a bad investment? While it's undeniably an attractive and well-built car, it lags behind its key competitors in one crucial area—range. Despite being equipped with an 83.7 kWh battery pack, the best range achieved by the experts at Car and Driver is just 240 miles per charge. This is far behind rivals like the Tesla Model S and Lucid Air, which offer significantly more range.
Although the e-tron GT has only been around for a few years, it's already showing signs of being outdated. Audi has already announced a massive update for next year, which will include a larger 97 kWh battery and a new high-performance version. Whether these updates will slow down its rapid depreciation remains to be seen.
Chevy Bolt – 28% Depreciation
Coming in at number seven is the recently discontinued Chevy Bolt, which has a depreciation rate of 28% after just one year. The Bolt was one of the pioneers in the EV market, marking an impressive sales record due to its affordability. However, that hasn’t stopped it from being one of the fastest-depreciating EVs on the market.
There are several reasons for this rapid decline in value. Firstly, the Bolt's technology is outdated. When the model launched in 2016, it was revolutionary. But today, with a charging speed of just 55 kW, it pales in comparison to modern EVs that offer charging rates of 270 kW or more, recharging several times faster.
Another major factor contributing to the Bolt’s depreciation is its safety concerns. Thousands of Bolts have been recalled over the past few years due to serious fire risks, leading to advisories for owners to monitor their cars while charging and to park in open spaces away from other vehicles. Such issues are not exactly selling points in the used car market.
Ford Mustang Mach-E – 29.8% Depreciation
At number six, we have the Ford Mustang Mach-E, a car that seemed poised for success when it first hit the market. The iconic Mustang nameplate combined with strong EV performance, including a 0-60 time of just 3.8 seconds, promised big things. Initial sales were indeed impressive, thanks to early adopters eager to embrace Ford's electric future.
However, the demand cooled down quickly in both the new and used car markets, leading to a depreciation rate of nearly 30% in just one year. Reliability issues, including several recalls, further hurt the Mach-E’s reputation. Despite its attractive design and decent range, it wasn’t enough to sustain long-term interest.
When demand started to wane, Ford was forced to offer significant discounts, a move that only accelerated the depreciation. The situation worsened when Tesla initiated a price war, which led to further markdowns and contributed to the Mach-E’s fast decline in value.
Toyota bZ4X – 32% Depreciation
Taking the fifth spot on our list is the Toyota bZ4X, an EV that was supposed to be the all-electric counterpart to the wildly popular RAV4. However, the bZ4X turned out to be a major disappointment for both Toyota and its customers. After just one year, this model depreciates by a hefty 32%.
Toyota has never been an EV enthusiast, and this reluctance is evident in the bZ4X. The car underwhelms in several key areas, including performance, range, and charging speed. Owners have also complained about the subpar interior design, which doesn’t live up to Toyota's usually high standards. To make matters worse, there were even some quality control issues during the early days of production, a rare misstep for the Japanese automaker.
