While some EV models have experienced above-average depreciation in recent years, others have retained their value remarkably well. <\/p><p data-start=\"1921\" data-end=\"2165\">Key factors include <strong>battery condition<\/strong>, driving <strong>range<\/strong>, <strong>charging speed<\/strong>,<strong> market supply<\/strong>, and <strong>new car pricing<\/strong>.
