It depends on the model. For example, first generation Nissan Leafs had a poorly designed battery temperature management system and consequently a short battery life and the resale values reflected that. Teslas, on the other hand, maintain their value because it is not unusual for a Tesla battery to last 300k miles. Tesla is aiming for power trains that will last 1 million miles.
