KBRA Releases Research – Electric Vehicle Residual Values in Europe: On the Road to Greater Stability?
12 Mar 2026 | Dublin
KBRA releases research examining recent trends in electric vehicle (EV) residual values across Europe and the implications for auto asset-backed securities (ABS).
Following a sharp repricing after pandemic-era supply constraints unwound, recent data indicate that the pace of EV residual-value declines has moderated. The report also highlights how EV adoption trends, charging-infrastructure expansion, and evolving policy developments across the EU and UK may influence residual-value behaviour. While moderating price declines may improve the assessment of residual-value risk in auto ABS transactions, KBRA notes that outcomes remain sensitive to transaction structure, collateral composition, and jurisdictional dynamics.
