    You can’t really. The world is a bit bigger than you think and mass adoption global cars like byd dolphin etc. Only started appear 4 years ago. So how can a second hand ev market develop?

      Huh, I didn’t realize you can’t buy second hand EVs. Gonna have a tough time explaining the my wife why the Mustang is gone.

            Nope, prove it then. Show me the numbers I’ll wait. 2nd hand ev market is basically non existent still.

                That’s like what, around 2000 cars listed there? Versus hundreds of thousands of ice cars? Lmao

                  One site. 2 minutes.

                  And if you’d bothered to actually look, you would have noticed that there were 500,000+ EVs listed.

                  You were wrong about a non-existent used EV market. It’s not a big deal, just take the L, learn from this to think first, then form an opinion, and then post, and move on with your life.

                  Just to thoroughly put this to bed… Here is the per-capital EV adoption rates in 2021

                  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_car_use_by_country

                  The US is nowhere close to the leaders on that chart. EV markets are actually better in many other places than they are in the US, and speaking from experience, I had no trouble finding a wide selection of secondhand EVs to purchase when I bought my car about a year and a half ago.

                  In summary… You’re painfully, obviously wrong, and that is okay. Continuing to defend a point solely “supported” by ignorance and prejudice, is not.
