Electric Vehicle
Residual value after 36 months: 35.6 percent of suggested retail
Starting price: $29,650
Predicted value after 36 months: $10,555
In terms of retaining value, the battery powered Nissan Leaf has the lowest predicted residual value after 36 months, as a percent of the original sticker price, on a list prepared by ALG Inc. The Nissan Leaf actually performs better than it appears, but it still has issues. Mathematically, the residual value is calculated based on the sticker price – not counting a $7,500 tax credit for buying an electric vehicle. With the full tax credit, the price would be $22,150. That works out to a not-bad 36-month residual of about 48 percent. However, that’s not the only thing the Nissan Leaf has going against it. ALG Inc. says demand for electric vehicles is softer than expected and that hurts forecasts for resale value, too. Nissan claims a range of 73 miles of zero-emissions driving per charge. For some buyers, that outweighs other considerations.
