Electric car prices are plummeting but these 4 models are still selling for above sticker price
- Electric car prices have been on the decline as inventory builds and demand eases.
- Several EVs are selling for thousands below their sticker price.
- But a few EVs have seen resiliency in their pricing.
Electric vehicle price declines have been long-awaited by car shoppers, and we're finally starting to see some respite.
Electric cars were going for about $50,000 last month — still more than the industry's overall average of $48,000, per Kelley Blue Book — but significantly less than the $65,000 price tag a year earlier.
At least 20 EVs are going for below sticker price just from money being taken off at the dealership, according to Edmunds data. Buyers can get some electric cars for as much as 12% off the MSRP (manufacturer's suggested retail price).
On top of that, incentives on EVs are at a record high, with some automakers dropping the price of their EVs by an additional 9.8%.
These deals and discounts are largely a function of EV inventory building up on dealership lots.
But while the prices of most EVs are coming down, there are a few that have stayed resilient, Edmunds data suggests.
