10-12 year old Leafs go for $5k. 10-12 year old ICE economy cars sell for the same price. The depreciation curve for the Leaf isn't bad, at least compared to some other EVs like the bZ4X.
This thread is about resale, and used Leafs are among the worst resale value of any car. Isn’t bad??
I think leaf is just a terrible offering. A base model 3 or bolt is a better option. The 24 model still uses the old chademo port. Nissan basically gave up on that car and moved on to Ariya. The fact leaf is still selling amazes me.
Having the CCS/J1772 combo maybe a blessing since there are a lot of chargers that have that connection. if you swap out the port in your car, then you will need to have an adapter handy incase you need to charge at a station that is not NACS. I would think that maybe the value will hold or could be better. There is always another side of the argument, I would be selling the fact that buying an adapter for the old pug in would be costly and a benefit to having the J1772/CCS combo on the car.
That's using logic, I don't think dealerships do that ? but it's a good counter argument
People will want adapters either way. In fact, the new vehicles with NACS ports may be using an adapter MORE for a while (to use a CCS charger). It all depends on which DCFC networks you use and how long it takes them to migrate their handles. Some have suggested they'll offer both handles if the charger has two cables (like EA). But don't expect thousands of chargers to be retrofitted all at once. Like all things DCFC, I expect it'll take years. We'll have a messy mix of CCS and NACS handles out there for quite some time. I'd want an adapter to handle either type, whether my car has a CCS port or a NACS port.
I believe the average length people keep a vehicle is around 8 years (average), which means yes, for several years there will be a mix out there. But Blue Book values are based on demand of a vehicle. And dealership trade-ins are based on Blue Book values. I doubt many people will want to buy CCS vehicles once all the new vehicles have switched over to NACS and using the Tesla Supercharger Network is the selling point. And since the only thing on a dealer's mind when they take your vehicle is "How much can we get for this?", I believe it could affect values.
Next year? More like MY2025, which means two years from now. Even then, we have not heard anything official that NACS ports are coming to the MY2025 Mustang Mach Es. If you have seen somewhere Ford does say that, please post it here.
Wouldn't MY2025 be at the end of this year?
My bad. That's what I get for posting late at night (I'm currently in Thailand). I should have said MY2026.
Correct. However, I'll repeat myself: we have not heard anything official that NACS ports are coming to the MY2025 Mustang Mach Es. That says nothing at all about the Mustang Mach E, does it?
You got me there, it definitely doesn't say MME ?
I just installed a Tesla universal charger. It easily charges either J1772 or NACS for future proofing, and I see them being installed by hotel chains for that reason.
That and the fact that Tesla makes a really high quality L2 charger.
