IS THE DS3 CROSSBACK E-TENSE EV NOW THE WORST DEPRECIATING CAR IN BRITAIN??

Video Summary
The DS 3 Crossback E-Tense has a high recommended retail price of around £39,820. New models are available with significant discounts, selling for approximately £26,495, representing a discount of over 30%. Nearly new examples with very low mileage (e.g., 20 miles) are found priced around £20,490, close to half the original RRP. A three-year-old model with 50,000 miles is listed for £11,300, indicating a depreciation of over 71% from the RRP. This depreciation rate is highlighted as the highest percentage found so far and deemed exceptionally high and "mental". The large discounts and rapid depreciation suggest that the original cost is being heavily subsidized, likely by finance companies, lease providers, or manufacturers. This situation across the electric car market is seen as unsustainable, with an eventual market correction anticipated.
