Why EV pricing is broken
Generalist pricing tools were built for ICE. EV residuals don't depreciate like a Camry — and the gap shows up where dealers lose money.
Battery health beats mileage
Two 2022 Model 3s with identical mileage can differ by $4-6K depending on state of health. KBB and vAuto don't account for it.
Residuals swing ±20%
EV depreciation isn't linear. A new model release, federal credit shift, or charging-network expansion moves the whole curve.
Sparse history per VIN
Many EVs only have 2-3 years of trade data. Generalist models trained on ICE corpora wash this signal out. CarCast trains EV-aware.

How we estimate battery health
Battery state of health (SoH) is the single biggest variable in used-EV value after model and mileage. We publish an estimated SoH range on every EV page, built from a model-family degradation curve calibrated to public research:
- Recurrent 2024 fleet study — median Tesla Model 3 retains 88% of original capacity at 100k miles
- Geotab 2024 EV degradation report — average loss 1.8%/yr across mixed-make EV fleets
- OEM warranty floors — Tesla/Ford/GM/Hyundai-Kia warranty 70% of capacity at 8yr/100k mi
- Model-family adjustments — older Nissan Leafs (passive thermal management) degrade faster; Tesla/Lucid (active liquid cooling) retain more
The number you see is the family median ±5pp. Real per-VIN SoH varies — a Recurrent or dealer battery report on the actual VIN beats any model. We'll integrate live per-VIN battery data as that ecosystem matures.
Frequently asked
How often do EV forecasts refresh?
Every Sunday at 3am ET, the full forecast pipeline re-runs against the latest MarketCheck listing snapshot. Listing data inside the chart refreshes daily.
Which EVs are tracked?
Every meaningful US-market battery-electric vehicle from 2020+: Tesla, Ford, Chevrolet/GMC/Cadillac, Hyundai/Kia/Genesis, Nissan, VW/Audi/Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Volvo/Polestar, Lucid, Rivian, Toyota/Lexus, Subaru, Honda/Acura, Mini, Fiat, and Jaguar. We add new model years on launch.
Do used EV prices go down faster than gas cars?
Generally yes. EV residuals depreciate 1.5-2x faster than equivalent ICE vehicles in the first three years, driven by model-year refreshes, rapid range improvements on new models, and federal tax-credit availability shifting between new and used cars. CarCast's forecasts capture these moves at the segment level.
Do you charge extra for EVs?
No. EV forecasts are included in the same Free / Pro ($149/mo) / Agency ($499/mo) plans as ICE vehicles. Pro unlocks the full 60-day forecast horizon and confidence bands.
Is the battery-health number from a real VIN scan?
Not yet — it's a model-family estimate from public degradation research. A real per-VIN report (Recurrent or dealer scan) is more accurate. We'll integrate live per-VIN data as that data ecosystem matures.
