China Used EV Auctions Average 51,300 Yuan, Topping Fuel Cars by 12,600
AI take
The premium for used EVs over combustion cars at auction is a notable signal for China's secondary market, suggesting residual values for electric models are holding up better than the common narrative of rapid depreciation. It matters for fleet operators, dealers and lenders who price risk off auction outcomes. Whether this EV premium persists as volumes rise is the open question, along with whether record auction turnover reflects genuine liquidity or simply more consignment supply chasing buyers.
