Pure electric cars have gradually emerged globally, but as electric cars are updated, the new car has become more and more types of new cars, but the second-hand car assessment system that matches does not really build.
This makes electric vehicles depreciates significantly when they are sold as used vehicles, and naturally can’t form a more mature and stable second-hand car market environment.
Even in the birthplace of the US-electric car leader, the second-hand electric car market has always been a non-quiet buyer market, this bleak clouds have continued until Earlier this year.
In the past 60 days, the US electric car has changed its day
However, in the past 60 days, the situation suddenly occurred The average price of second-hand electric vehicles in the United States began to soar.
According to Recurrent’s data (Recurrent is a start-up company for used car consumers to pay for independent details of electric vehicle battery pack) from this year to 5 this year In the month, the average price of all old electric vehicles in the second-hand market in the United States rose $ 1,500, and the models before 2019 have risen an average of $ 1200.
J. Power has recently pointed out that the retail prices of second-hand vehicles rose by 10% from the end of April to April, and wholesale price climbed up to 32%.
What is this? In fact, this trend is not unique to electric cars. It is part of the surge in the promotion of the entire second-hand car market and new cars.
These factors include the extreme shortage of new vehicles. Yes, fundamentally is the chip shortage. With the economic stimulus and economic resuscitation funds into the United States family bank account, vaccine-inoculated Americans intend to upgrade their cars.
Some is for this year’s summer road tripPrepare, some to carry out new commuting, of course, most people are preparing to return to normal daily life.
Therefore, this sudden strong demand has made the US new car market to be in short supply.
According to the data investigated in Cox Automotive, the American people have begun to be obsessed with electric models. The sales of such models have far beyond the entire market. The 4.8 percentage of the first quarter of 2020 jumped to 7.8 percentage in the same period in 2021. 
US Sales in the first quarter of the United States increased by 7.8% year-on-year
Tesla Model Y, Model 3 , Chevrolet Bolt and Ford Mustang Mach-E are the highest sales of electric new vehicles in the quarter, and the total sales of hybrid and pluggable models have also increased more than double.
However, because the chip shortage, this strong new electric car market has to stagnate due to the supply of the supply, so people began to transfer the target to second-hand electric vehicles. .
According to the data of COX Automotive, in the entire second-hand car market, the current retail supply is only 29 days, and the under normal circumstances is up to 44 days, but This is actually more shorter than the retail inventory of some electric vehicles.
This has led to some surprising growth.
For example, the average price of 2018 Chevrolet Bolt rose $ 2735, although the new car of this car has been going on, while the safety recall caused by self ignition, let the owner This car can only be charged to 90%.

At the same time, 2018 Chevrolet Volt plug-in mixed cars rose by $ 3827; 2018 daily health prices have risen by $ 1591 The price of 2017 Volkswagen E-Golf has risen to $ 1778.
Recuit CEO Scott Case said: “From the perspective of the dealer, the current electric car market is’ casual” market. Due to the global chip shortage, the new car supply is very limited, distribution Business does not hesitate to replace the high price, especially in the case of vendors to prove its second-hand car battery condition. “
According to the market report released in May, the market is the longest inventory The electric vehicle is 2018 BMW I3. As one of the most popular models on the second-hand car market, the inventory of Tesra Model 3 is very small.
Model 3 is the cheapest in Texas
Another thing that is worth noting is that the price difference between the US states is also very large in some cases, in some cases, the price difference between the United States is also very large, from 3,000 to $ 6,000.
Among them, Texas is the cheapest place to buy second-hand Tesla Model 3, and the quantity of second-handed Testra is almost the second popular electric electric. Two times the car brand BMW.
However, there are also some high-end models to choose from, such as more than 90,000 US dollars, 5 Karma REVERO, average price is 14.2 Ten thousand U.S. dollars.
Nissan Hearing
BMW i3
Washington State is a good place to buy second-hand Nissan Harmony, but there is no second hand in the market (2019 ) Audi E-TRON SUV and 2017 BMW I3.
In addition, Florida is a popular market with BMW plugging mixed cars and BMW I3. 530E and X5 PHEV are the most popular mixed second-hand cars in the state, 2017 and 2018 I3 are also very popular, with more than $ 20,000. 
However, in general, the average price of these cars is slightly cheap in California, which may be because of the largest in California’s second-hand electric vehicle market. Inventory is almost four times the second largest market Texas, where consumers can find any price or luxurious level electric vehicles.
Let’s talk about Tesla as the electric vehicle lead brand.
While this brand has recently been constantly in various accidents and negative news, by 2020, Tesla 3 sales have exceeded 3 million units, which undoubtedly proved that it is the world’s most Welcome electric car.
Even in the second-hand market, Recurrent’s survey found that there were a large number of second-hand Tesra in the market in 2021.
Inventory, such as 2013 to 2015, the stock decreased by 30%, and the price increased by $ 2,000, 2019 Model 3 increased in March this year. About 3,000 US dollars.
Tesla Direct Sales only account for only second-hand Tesla inventory 7 percentage
But notably , With new TeslamingDifferent in direct sales, Tesla’s direct sales only account for 7 percentages of second-hand Tesla inventory.
The remaining inventory distribution is 30% of the four national online retailers, 24% of 32 large regional dealers, and nearly 530 small dealers in the United States. 39 percentage.
It seems that this direct sales model is not necessarily suitable for second-hand Tsra, and now on Tesla official website, no longer available After certified second-hand cars. 
Second-hand TESLO official service decreased, but consumers still have enthusiasm
Get the basics of 50000 miles in 4 years After warranty, second-hand Tsra only has a limited warranty for 1 year 10,000 miles, and the specific information may vary depending on the place of purchase, but even so, it has not been able to cancel the enthusiasm of people.
How long will the second-hand electric vehicle market still last? Maybe when the chip is no longer short, the supply can catch up with the demand, this heat will drop.
However, considering that the new car market needs to build inventory, this may also make the US second-hand electric car market for another time.
However, if the US federal government approves some new incentives to improve the ownership of electric vehicles, then this strong second-hand electric car market may continue.
