Big depreciation is definitely a risk. Having an option to sell gives more flexibility.

What car do u drive?

I recently got a byd atto 3. Really happy with it. 

The depreciation I've seen, at least here, is not very different to the one I see in non-electric cars.

BYD is approved recently in my country. Hope this competition bring price down.
