尽管联邦购车补贴结束后，电动车经销商的客流量可能有所减少，但二手电动汽车和卡车的销量却持续攀升。
考克斯汽车公司数据显示，2025年最后三个月内，二手电动汽车交易量达近8.9万辆，同比增长13.5%。此外，二手电动车库存周转周期约为50天，略快于燃油车。与之形成鲜明对比的是，去年第四季度全新电动汽车销量同比下滑36%。
Recurrent公司市场洞察总监莉兹·纳吉曼表示，今年的热门词汇是“可负担性”，这背后有充分的理由。该公司为汽车经销商和消费者提供续航里程估算及其他以电动汽车为核心的数据。她指出，如今能以五折价格购得一辆使用两三年的电动汽车，而这些车辆不仅技术先进，电池还享有保修服务。
长期以来，美国的二手电动汽车市场一直停滞不前。市场上待售车辆稀少，买家们还担心老旧车型的电池会逐渐报废。但事实证明，电动汽车电池的耐用性超出预期，在美国，这些电池通常享有至少八年或10万英里的质保期。
尽管新车销量仍远超二手车，但分析师指出，成熟的二手车市场将有助于提振对新型电动汽车的需求。数据显示，超过90%的电动车车主在换购新车时仍会选择电动汽车。
二手电动车销量上涨遵循着简单的经济规律：市场上终于出现了大量待售车辆，且价格相对低廉。2023至2024年间，美国人抢购了250万辆电动汽车，其中大部分为租赁车辆。如今这些车辆首次涌入二手车市场。由于电动车贬值率居高不下，越来越多的消费者开始选择性价比更高的电动车型。
尽管美国二手电动汽车的平均价格仍略高于传统燃油二手车，但两者价差正在逐步缩小。近期数据显示，近40%的二手电动汽车成交价低于2.5万美元。根据人工智能购车平台CarEdge.com的统计，在过去三年转售价值跌幅最大的15款车型中，超过半数均为电动汽车。该平台主要为购车者提供与经销商议价的服务支持。
CarEdge.com分析师贾斯汀·菲舍尔表示：“二手电动车是解决美国 affordability crisis（ affordability crisis）的方案之一，只需不到2万美元就能买到一辆非常划算的车。”
以日产聆风为例，这款电动车单次充电可行驶约150英里，并能在停电时为住宅供电。过去三年间，其价值缩水近70%，近期售价约为1.2万美元。而与之相当的燃油车型日产阳光同期保值率超过70%，售价约1.4万美元。
尽管二手电动汽车的价格可能仍略高于燃油车，但它们通常车龄更短且车况更佳。Recurrent公司的研究发现，若按标价对比，电动汽车平均比内燃机轿车和卡车新一年，且行驶里程少3万英里。
另有证据表明，电动汽车——无需散热器、火花塞或机油——从长远来看可能比燃油车更可靠。密歇根大学1月的一项研究发现，二手电动汽车的总体拥有成本远低于其他任何类型的汽车，这主要归功于相对较低的燃料和维护费用。
“这才是真正的价值所在，”考克斯公司行业洞察总监斯蒂芬妮·瓦尔迪兹·斯特里提表示，“几乎实现了价格持平，而且运营这种车辆的成本会更低。”
她表示，这一趋势可能会持续下去，因为精打细算的买家将首次有机会购买到租赁期满的近期电动车款，包括三年前首次亮相的宝马i7、凯迪拉克Lyriq和特斯拉Cybertruck。

Traffic may have dried up at EV dealerships after the end of federal purchase incentives, but sales of used electric cars and trucks have only accelerated.
Almost 89,000 used EVs changed hands in the last three months of 2025, up 13.5% from a year earlier, according to Cox Automotive. Whats more, the inventory of used electric machines is turning over in about 50 days, slightly faster than for gas-powered cars. By contrast, sales of new EVs fell 36% in the fourth quarter of last year.
The buzz word for the year is affordability for a really good reason, said Liz Najman, director of market insights at Recurrent, which provides range estimates and other EV-centric data to car dealers and shoppers. You can get a two or three-year-old EV for 50% off and youre talking about something with a lot of technology and a warranty on the battery.
For a long time the used EV market in the US was stagnant. There werent a lot of cars for sale and buyers worried about batteries in older models dying out. But EV batteries are proving to be more durable than expected and in the US theyre generally covered under warranty for at least eight years or 100,000 miles.
New EVs still outsell used ones by a long shot, but analysts say a mature used market will help buttress demand for new battery-powered machines. When shopping for a new car, more than 90% of EV owners choose to go electric again.
The increase in used-EV sales follows simple economics: There are finally a lot of these cars for sale and at relatively low prices. In 2023 and 2024, Americans snapped up 2.5 million electric vehicles, the majority of them under lease. These vehicles are now hitting the used market for the first time. And depreciation rates for EVs have been steep, so those seeking a bargain are increasingly landing on a battery-powered machine.
While the average price of a used electric vehicle in the US is still slightly higher than that of a pre-owned gas car, the spread has been narrowing. Almost 40% of used EVs in the recent quarter sold for less than $25,000. And of the 15 models that have seen resale values swoon the most over three years, more than half are electric vehicles, according to CarEdge.com, an AI-driven platform that helps car shoppers negotiate with dealerships.
Used EVs are an answer to the affordability crisis in America, said CarEdge.com analyst Justin Fischer. You can score a really good deal for right under $20,000.
Consider a Nissan Leaf, which travels about 150 miles on a charge and can power a house in a blackout. In the past three years, that vehicle has lost almost 70% of its value, and recently was selling for about $12,000. A Nissan Versa, a comparable gas-powered model, has retained more than 70% of its original price in the same period, selling for roughly $14,000.
While used EVs may still be slightly more expensive than gas options, they tend to be newer vehicles and in better shape. Recurrent found that when compared by list price, the electric options are, on average, one year newer and have 30,000 fewer miles than internal-combustion cars and trucks.
Theres also evidence that electric vehicles without radiators, spark plugs or oil may prove to be more reliable over time than gas-powered machines. A January study from the University of Michigan found the total cost of owning a used electric vehicle is drastically lower than that of any other type of car, largely because of relatively low bills for fuel and upkeep.
Thats really the value story, said Stephanie Valdez Streaty, director of industry insights at Cox. You almost have price parity and then the cost to operate this vehicle is going to be less.
She said the pace is likely to continue as bargain hunters are about to get a crack at recent EVs coming off lease for the first time, including the BMW i7, Cadillac Lyric and Tesla Cybertruck, all of which debuted three years ago.
