Abright Posted November 19, 2015 at 06:53 AM Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 at 06:53 AM (edited) I am leasing a 2015 FFE titanium. I am hoping that at the end of my 3 year lease that the car will have value that will roll into a new lease. After reading a lot about the batteries and how they deplete and loss of capacity over time, I'm wondering if this will affect the resale value of this vehicle in three years? Any thoughts on how these EV vehicles will hold value? Edited November 19, 2015 at 06:54 AM by Abright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expresspotato Posted November 29, 2015 at 02:46 AM Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 at 02:46 AM These are Ford's first generation of Plugin's so as per resale no real clue. You might have better luck on the Volt / Nissan forums. According to testing though, because they're Li-ion the results are good! http://www.autoblog.com/2012/12/20/ford-key-life-test-advanced-plug-in-vehicle-batteries/ http://www.designnews.com/author.asp?doc_id=256425&dfpPParams=ind_184,industry_auto,bid_318,aid_256425&dfpLayout=blog Looks like the capacity just flat lines after a while, instead of progressively decreasing like Ni-MH Hybridbear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
