    In April, electric cars were the worst performing with values dropping 4.7 per cent, petrol cars dropped 0.8 per cent and diesels fell back 0.9 per cent.

    There are new EVs coming onto the market in 2024 and 2025 which are going to be priced significantly lower than their existing equivalents. These include a new Tesla, a new VW and a new Renault all with a target starting prices of around £20,000.

    This is due to reduced parts costs and economies of scale. The inevitable result of this, is that prices of existing EVs are being driven down and it was something I was aware of when I purchased my first EV in 2021.

    Models of EV of around 8-10k are coming into the market this year or early next. Tesla know this hence them driving down the price of their own models.

    The value of current EV’s are going to plummet.
