It is tough to say. I think desirable enthusiast ICE vehicles should hold their value as they will be able to provide a driving experience that an EV just can't.
I own a Tesla Model 3 and a ZL1 for this reason. The Model 3 is great for daily driving duty, low operating cost, great tech, one pedal driving, autosteer on highways, etc. but it can't deliver that visceral engaging experience you get from a performance ICE based vehicle. It is the exhaust and engine noise, vibration, tire spin, rise and fall of the RPM through the shifts, interior gauge cluster, performance seats, etc. that helps add to the experience.
I am hopeful that GM and others will find a way to deliver great driving dynamics in their upcoming EVs but as a Tesla owner I am skeptical. I think new EVs owners will initially be pleased with the low operating costs and instant torque of a BEV but once the honeymoon is over true enthusiasts will miss the drama and personality that a muscle car can offer. Interesting times ahead.
