The company on Wednesday reported that its Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index for EVs \u2014 which tracks prices of used vehicles sold at its U.S. wholesale auctions \u2014\u00a0increased 12% last month compared with June 2025. That compares with a 1.7% increase for non-EVs over the same period.<\/p>

Wholesale EV prices have increased every month this year, leading to an 11.5% jump in average pricing to roughly $30,400, according to Manheim. Non-EVs, meanwhile, have seen a less than 1% increase this year in average pricing, to $19,125, Manheim said.<\/p>

The average used EV listing price as of May was $37,083, according to Cox’s Kelley Blue Book. Retail prices for consumers traditionally follow changes in wholesale prices.<\/p>

“EVs continue to show strong performance, while prices for SUVs and Pickups falter compared to this time last year,” Manheim said in a release.<\/p>

Cox reports used EV sales to consumers reached 42,923 units in May, up 5.5% month over month and 24.7% year over year, with used EV market share holding at 2.8%. Tesla
