The rapid iteration of new energy vehicles has raised concerns among many owners: once solid-state batteries become widely adopted, could the resale market for their current EVs simply collapse?
EVs already have weaker resale values than fuel-powered cars, and there are worries that the rollout of new technology will directly push older lithium-battery models out of the market. However, the advancement of standards is a gradual process - a complete technology replacement won't happen overnight. For a long time to come, existing lithium-battery models will remain the mainstream on the market.
For those currently using an EV, normal usage will not be affected, so there is no need to panic-sell. Once unified standards are implemented, a universal benchmark for evaluating battery performance will also be established.
Going forward, when purchasing a used EV, buyers will be able to more intuitively assess battery health, reducing the risk of ending up with a heavily degraded battery. New technology will drive industry upgrades, but it will not directly negate the practical value of existing models.
