All across the automotive world, the buzz around electric vehicles (EVs) has been impossible to ignore. With promises of a cleaner, more sustainable future, EVs, particularly those from Tesla, have become symbols of green innovation and a more eco-friendly future. Even used car dealerships are getting in on the action, offering pre-owned EVs that help people go green without spending all of their green. However, a recent study sheds light on a less celebrated aspect of owning a Tesla: the swift decline in their resale value.

A Massive Trend in the Automotive Market
It wasn’t too long ago that electric cars were only offered as underpowered and tiny vehicles that required a massive amount of compromise on your part in order to drive a vehicle that could be plugged in.
Once Tesla arrived on the scene and EV models began to develop into powerful and sexy models we’ve seen other brands build EVs and begin to see the light of offering these models as ones everyone would want to drive. With that in mind, here are several vehicles that we hope will eventually become EVs for the drive we want to enjoy:
The Chevrolet Bolt Begins its Eastward Deliveries
As an EV the place you would expect the Chevrolet Bolt to begin being delivered is in California. As the strictest state in the country in regards to emissions, this was going to be where this new long range and highly affordable car would be delivered first. Chevrolet made a promise to begin shipments of the new Bolt EV before the end of the 2016 calendar year. In order to make this happen, three Bolt models have already been delivered to customers to let them begin their enjoyment of the new model that’s perfect for the ride for these owners.
The Chevrolet Volt has Pioneered a New Class
Over the last several years, the Chevrolet Volt has developed a personality and a reputation of being the car with an electric range that you can trust. This car, in its current form, offers you 53 miles of EV driving before the gasoline engine ever kicks in. This could be enough range for you to avoid using the gasoline for several days at a time as long as you charge it nightly and only have a short commute each day. Not only do you receive this EV range, but once you start to use the gasoline you can drive a full 420 miles between fill-ups.
