What this says is that picking up a secondhand EV should be a good move.
I bought a really inexpensive used Leaf almost a decade ago. It's been the best car purchase of my life. Sure, I'm not going on any road trips with it, but for 99% of my driving, it's perfect and charges off my standard outlet in the garage.
This applies to all cars. I don't think there's ever a situation where you should buy a completely new vehicle over a used one that's 2-5 years old. The value proposition is just insane
Yeah unless you want very specific customizations and don't care about the costs
