I know I'm getting a bit ahead of myself since the R1S and the R1T aren't for sale yet, but I saw this report from iSeeCars.com and it got me thinking about how Rivian's value will hold compared to the competition.
According to their research, on average new electric vehicles loses 56.6 percent of its original value in three years. While the average for all vehicles 38.2 percent in that same span.
Some of the EVs with the most depreciation in three years include the Fiat 500e (69.7%), BMW i3 (63.3%), Nissan Leaf (59.6%), Volkswagen e-Golf (58.1%), and the Ford Fusion Energi (57.7%).
The only exception seems to be Tesla, where the Model S only depreciates 17.1 percent after three years.
My guess is that the Rivians will buck the trend and hold their value like Tesla, but with the EV landscape always changing, who knows maybe you'll get a great deal on Rivians down the road. For anyone interested in buying a R1T and R1S, is this going to be a big factor for you?
