Governments across the world are busy encouraging people to buy electric vehicles (EVs) as countries try to meet climate targets.

In some places, customers have been given incentives to buy EVs, making them cheaper than oil-powered cars at the showroom.

But drivers have been wondering whether new EVs will hold their value over time.

It's a topic that has received a lot of attention online. A number of different sites report that in many markets the prices of secondhand EVs are depreciating faster than the prices of oil-powered cars.

Depreciation is to be expected with all vehicles. As soon as a new car is driven away from the showroom, it loses some of its value.

But aging EVs are a little different to aging oil-powered cars — they come with a unique set of challenges.

In the first half of 2023, Car Dealer magazine reported that 29 of the top 30 biggest depreciating used cars were EVs.

The EV market is growing all the time, and while a few years ago there was not enough supply to meet customer demand, that's no longer the case.

Previously, customers looking for an EV might have settled for a used vehicle, but they don't have to anymore.

New models may also promise newer battery technology or longer battery life, causing people to choose a new vehicle over an older one. Perhaps they are also encouraged by those generous government incentives to buy new.

But it might not be all bad news for EV owners who are looking to sell their used vehicles. Writing for Euronews, Geraldine Herbert argues that increased public confidence in EVs will help slow depreciation rates, because people will feel more comfortable buying older vehicles.

In the next few years, the EV market will keep growing as countries end sales of new oil-powered cars, and according to Herbert this means that more EVs will keep more of their value over time.

男：时间来到了9月1号，不仅是中小学，不少地方的幼儿园小朋友们也开学了。幼儿园迎来了整个学习里说是最忙碌的一天。
女：是，大家通常会把这一天称作叫“神兽归笼”。幼儿园呢确实变成了大型的“伤别离”现场。我们也看到网上有很多的视频引发了大家的热议，有网友就开玩笑说：“哇幼儿园开学第一天真的是听取哇声一片。”
男：是小朋友第一次离开家要出个小远门了哈。有嗷嗷大哭的，有含泪一步三回头的，也有搂着爸爸妈妈脖子，挂在身上不愿意下来的。老师呢恨不得长八只手，感觉哄不完，根本就哄不完。
女：其实爸爸妈妈也没好到哪儿去，因为他们的分离焦虑呀可能比孩子们更严重。
男：是，通过大家发布的视频呢我们总结了一下哈，比如说，有这个老父亲送完了萌娃回来一直抹眼泪的，有上一秒嘴上说着“解放了”下一秒却化身壁虎各种趴墙头偷看孩子的。
女：特别理解啊，为人父母的心情。你像幼儿园是孩子离开家庭独立成长的第一步，其实也是爸爸妈妈面临和孩子分离的第一步。这世上大部分的爱都是关乎拥有的，但唯独呢父母对子女的爱却应该是逐步放手的爱。所以啊，对于家长们来说呢，希望大家也要提前做好准备，也给孩子充分的信任和鼓励。
男：是，其实每一次流泪呢也都是孩子成长的一个契机，所以家长们也要相信孩子啊，当他们独立面对陌生环境的时候，将爆发出意想不到的小宇宙。
