Personally I think taking the journalistic perspective of the publisher into account when reading an article is important.
- vdaea 3y agoThe article simply says that according to Auto Trader (a classifieds website for cars) electric cars lose 23% of their value the first year. Where's the conservative (slur word) bias in that? Or the bias, for that matter.
- bb123 3y agoI did not say that there was a bias in the article? I said the publisher has a bias. Which they clearly do.
- Arnt 3y agoI'd say the bias is in a coincidence: The tories have recently changed policies to something that benefits from that kind of story, but isn't really a core, traditional or classic tory policy. Also, the 23% sounds be a bit misleading. They suggest that it's due to the EVs that were bought. I think it's four factors: The usual drop, plus the reasons they have in mind, plus price pressure from new EVs that are dropping in price, plus price pressure from competition with new EV models (ie. the number of EV models on offers is increasing). Maybe they just forgot to mentiont the last two.

Typical car depreciation: > Year 1: 15-35% depreciation. 65-85% of the original value. Seems that this is bang in the middle of expected depreciation of any car.
