How to use the EV Battery Depletion & Value Loss Calculator
The Formula
We model capacity loss with ~2.3% calendar fade per year plus mileage and DC fast-charge stress, then apply a typical 38% pack share of MSRP to estimate how much battery depletion reduces resale value versus your purchase price.
Practical Example
Real market prices depend on trim, region, incentives at purchase, and OEM battery warranties. Use this for planning and comparison—pair with our EV vs ICE maintenance calculator for service and replacement costs.

Frequently asked questions
Q: What is SoH? A: State of health—remaining battery capacity vs. new. Q: Why fast charging matters? A: High C-rates heat cells and accelerate fade when used as primary fueling. Q: Can I improve SoH? A: You can slow further loss with gentler charging; lost capacity does not return.
