A three-year-old Tesla Model 3 is still bid at 57.6% of its new price by European dealers, the best result in Aampere's first EV Resale Index, published in October 2026. The Model Y is second at 55.9%. The market average after 36 months is 48.0%; Chinese brands as a group get 41%.
Aampere, a Munich used-EV auction platform, measured the highest dealer bid from ten European countries across 4,854 auctions between January and September 2026 — wholesale bids, not retail listings. Used EV values on the platform rose 9.3% from January to September (index 109.3 with January = 100), which Aampere ties to record German fuel prices.
The 36-month ranking
Tesla Model 3 — 57.6%
Tesla Model Y — 55.9%
BMW iX3 — 50.7%
Škoda Enyaq — 50.0%
Hyundai Ioniq 5 — 48.4%
The Tesla brand averages 57.2%, about 9.2 points above the market — roughly €4,600 more residual value on a €50,000 car, Aampere said. Models needed at least 20 auctions to appear. Residuals are measured against list price including options and ignore discounts. Related: Tesla's Giga Berlin expansion plans.
