Looking at Ford Mach-E. I don't see the number you are seeing. I can find 2024 Mach-E 50% off its MSRP.

Looking at 2021 Mach E Premiums around me in good shape and normal mileage, most are ~$22k. The car was originally $49k MSRP. So ~45% retained value, I rounded. Mea culpa. But when you factor in that the original owner really got it for $7,500+ in rebates that's more like 52% of retained value. So the truth is really somewhere in between.

2024's around me are listed around $34-36k. MSRP was $47k. Didn't qualify for federal rebates. 34/47 is 72% of retained value, a loss of 28%. Also a 2024 model year is two model years old not one. That's far from 65% lost value.
