Analysis of EV Residual Value Factors
A structured look at what is actually driving EV residual values today: battery health, charging access, brand mix, and policy exposure, and how lenders, OEMs, and fleet buyers should be pricing risk.
EV residuals have become one of the most consequential numbers in the industry. They shape lease pricing, captive finance profitability, fleet replacement cycles, and the willingness of consumers to take the first step into electrification.
This paper takes a structured look at the factors that actually move EV residuals today: battery health and warranty design, charging access, brand and segment mix, tax and policy exposure, and the second-life and remanufacturing pathways that set the floor.
It closes with implications for the players who carry residual risk: how lenders should be adjusting reserves, how OEMs should be thinking about lease mix, and how fleet buyers should be structuring procurement to avoid being on the wrong side of a fast-moving curve.
