Chinese EV Invasion: Why Second-Hand Electric Cars Are Plummeting in Price
Chinese EV Invasion: Why Second-Hand Electric Cars Are Plummeting in Price

Used electric car prices in the UK are falling fast — and Chinese EV brands are a major part of the story.
In this video, I break down why second-hand electric cars are collapsing in value, how an influx of cheap, well-specced Chinese EVs is reshaping the market, and why existing EV owners are taking the biggest hit.
As brands like BYD, MG, Omoda and others flood the UK with new, heavily discounted electric cars, the knock-on effect is brutal for the used market. Overnight, cars that were once positioned as “premium” are suddenly competing with brand-new EVs costing thousands less — often with longer warranties, better tech, and finance incentives.
We’ll look at:
Why Chinese EV pricing is undercutting the used market
How oversupply and pre-registration are accelerating depreciation
Why residual values are collapsing faster than many predicted
Who wins and who loses from the EV price war
What this means if you already own an electric car — or are thinking of buying one
If you’ve been told “EV prices have stabilised”, this video challenges that narrative with real-world market logic — not wishful thinking.
Whether you’re an EV owner, dealer, or buyer sitting on the fence, this is the reality of the UK electric car market in 2025.

Are Chinese EVs good for consumers — or are they destroying residual values?
