Used EV prices stabilizing? Need perspective

Looking at Q2 data, it seems like the depreciation curve on older EVs might be finally flattening. For months we saw horror stories from owners trading in three-year-old cars for pennies, but recent auction numbers suggest a bit of a rebound, at least for models with decent range. Is this just a seasonal blip after the new-model clearances, or are we actually seeing a point where battery replacement fears stop driving prices into the dirt? I am about to lease instead of buying, but if residuals are hitting a more normal level, buying used could be a smarter play. Curious if anyone here is tracking specific model curves or regional differences in trade-in values right now.
