Being so new to the market, used electric cars’ values have been closely watched by analysts for years to see how they perform.

Like their gasoline-engined counterparts, it seems most don’t usually retain their value very well. But while they’re probably not the first thing to come to mind when it comes to appreciating assets, some EV models are actually seeing a small boost in prices on the used market.

According to Automotive News, the 2015 Nissan Leaf has been on a downward spiral of depreciation, with prices plummeting 25 to 30 percent annually over the past three years. But those same cars are now seeing a one-percent higher wholesale price compared to last year’s numbers.

Leafs are now retaining 30 percent of their original sticker price, which is up from 23 percent last year.

Other vehicles seeing similar depreciation-holds are the Chevrolet Spark EV and the Fiat 500e. The retention in value could have to do with they way the used cars are being marketed, as most were leased when-new and are thus better geared toward performing well in the used market.

“From a re-marketing standpoint, the companies have done a better job of understanding where the demand is for those EVs,” said J.D. Power’s Larry Dixon, noting most new buyers only went for a short two- to three-year commitment on EVs.

While this small change probably won’t have dealers scrambling to fill their showrooms with used Nissan Leafs, it does show a slight change in the mindset of the consumer toward electric vehicles.
