I can only read the first sentence of that article without signing up, but can attest that in my current car search I am looking at used electric vehicles that have lost two thirds of their value in 3-4 years.

I see the entire article at first (or when reloading). Directly entering reader mode in the browser prevents it from switching to the sign up page.
What brands are you looking at? I've been looking at Tesla cars, but they honestly don't seem to have depreciated as much as I would have expected / hoped.
Currently looking at Jaguar I Pace. There are quite a lot in the £20-25k range with <60k miles that would have been about £65k new.

I'd happily look at a Model Y, but out of my budget

I was looking recently at the German second hand market. My rough estimate was that Teslas lose about 50% of the value at year 4.
