Do EVs Retain Their Value? What to Know About Used Electric Cars
The article explores the depreciation of electric vehicles (EVs) compared to internal combustion engine vehicles, highlighting factors such as battery health, technological advancements, and government policies. It notes that EVs have historically depreciated faster due to rapid technological progress, but recent data suggests battery degradation is slower than expected. The market for used EVs is growing, driven by lower prices and increased public confidence.

Study Flags Hurdles In India’s Critical Mineral Supply Chains
India's path to achieving net-zero emissions by 2070 is hindered by vulnerabilities in critical mineral supply chains, as highlighted by a report from the Centre for Social and Economic Progress. The report underscores the need for resilient supply networks to support green energy ambitions, noting the global concentration of mineral extraction and processing, particularly in China, as a significant challenge. Despite efforts to boost domestic availability through auctions, success has been limited. The report recommends incentivizing domestic processing, recycling, and strengthening partnerships with regional institutions. Without decisive action, India risks increased import dependence and exposure to supply shocks.
