Unless a 5 year old EV has lost a lot more functionality than a 5 year old ICE, that situation doesn't seem likely.

If in 5 years, your EV (that had similar utility as an ICE when you bought it) has lost so much value relative to a new EV, then the new EV must offer much more utility over both the old EV and the old ICE, in which case your ICE should have lost a similar amount of value.

Are you trying to use logic to convince the resale value to be higher?

My point is either the assumption that their functionality doesn't decrease rapidly is incorrect or that they won't continue to depreciate at a much faster rate than ICE in the future. It just doesn't make economic sense.
