Diese 5 AUTOS sind heute WERTLOS – ADAC Wertverlust 2026

This article presents the five electric vehicles with the highest depreciation on the German market, measured by the loss in value within one year of initial purchase. 5th place: Hyundai Ioniq 5 (-32.9%) – Depreciation due to price cuts in response to Tesla and a loss of confidence due to ICCU charging unit defects. 4th place: Kia EV6 (-33.3%) – Shares platform and problems with the Ioniq 5, further burdened by a large number of returned lease vehicles. 3rd place: Nissan Leaf (-45.7%) – Outdated CHAdeMO charging standard and an air-cooled battery that degrades more quickly make it unattractive. 2nd place: Mercedes-Benz EQS (-47.8%) – Polarizing design doesn't appeal to the traditional S-Class clientele, compounded by quality issues and a production halt in the USA. First place: VW ID.4 (-54%) – a poor infotainment system, unpopular touch controls, and the announcement that the model will be renamed "ID Tiguan" signal to buyers that further development is over. The central thesis: The massive depreciation is no coincidence, but rather the result of a market in flux – characterized by technical weaknesses, aggressive pricing by manufacturers, and still-hesitant consumer confidence in electric mobility. For manufacturers, this means not only financial losses but also significant reputational damage, which jeopardizes their overall electric vehicle strategies.
