Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf Resale Values Holding Up Remarkably Well

Could it be that early adapters of the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf will not be taking a hit in their car’s resale value for all their willingness to risk buying new electrified automotive technology?

Contrary to early fears that their resale value might not hold a candle to nearest-comparable gasoline cars, this appears to be the case, according to the June NADA Official Used Car Guide

How good are the resale values? Try 95 percent of the tax-credit-adjusted sticker for the 2011 Leaf, and 90 percent for the 2011 Volt.

No surprise there, the resale value of the Toyota RAV4 EV (1997-2003) is also holding well, if you can find one.

Awesome! Could that be due to a tiny demand, and an even smaller supply? The sales numbers tell us these things aren't exactly flying off the lot.

I would not use the re-VOLT-ing except as a toilet! To open sunroof and poop inside of until it was full.

On the other hand, the Nissan Leaf is a good idea as a full-electric to cut pollutshun.
