I mean, that’s my point. The used market isn’t all beater cars. There are almost new EVs available on the used market. 3 years ago they didn’t exist at all. The used market back then only had EVs with poor batteries, but these days you can find new cars in the used market with new batteries, but still at a massive price discount only for being used slightly.
Many people still have the common idea that used EVs are risky, so the
prices drop a lot from very little use. Also because the technology in new cars evolves very quickly, so you can get last years models considerably cheaper.
My current (ice) vehicle I got with about that and it also was practically new. Only problem was a chip in the windshield that I had to get replaced when it grew into a large crack, and we honestly aren’t certain if that even predated our purchasing the vehicle
Bwahahaha that’s not used. That’s new. Talk to us again when you pick up a car with 50 000 on it.

I picked up a used EV with about 20,000 miles on it and it still felt like new.
My EV has almost 70,000 miles on it, and it drives like it’s new. The seats and the suspension aren’t quite there though.
