I moved to electric a few months ago since the price was about the same as a gas vehicle and I’ve been enjoying it. I think if you have easy access to a level two charger and don’t drive long distance regularly it makes sense.
I really wish EVs were as reliable as cheap/quality as gas powered cars. A lot of EVs still can’t beat my 2022 gas powered Camry, I will be driving it till the steering wheel falls off
Still expensive AF to repair. $4k to replace a broken taillight on a lightning.
Just wait until out of warranty vehicles start hitting the market now that momentum for EV repair infrastructure has come to a screeching halt.
>“Used EVs have always had a lot of depreciation as people were concerned about battery life, but the reality is the batteries hold up very well (apart from early Leafs) so they are a fantastic way to get into an EV,” Abuelsamid said.
To me, that is still a fear. Some places say 12-15 years. Some say 10-20 years. So if the lease was 36 months, do I potentially only have 7 years? And what is the resale if I do buy it and want to sell it in a few years?
I would but my local infrastructure is years behind to maintain range anxiety and the price point of evs being so high.
Yeah. We’re all ready for it. It’s pretty cool how we all have enough water and the electric grid will support it all now that ai data centers need to be built.
I love the hell out of the brand new 2025 RWD Limited IONIQ 5 I bought last year. It’s my daily driver where I live. I also have to fly every week to visit my girlfriend who has to work in another city for the next several years. That’s where I keep my 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe that I’ve had for 10 years so I can drive it on the weekends.
My plan is next year. I’m gonna see about trading my 2017 in for a used 2025 IONIQ 5 figuring that it ought to be pretty cheap. And then that’s it for gas cars for me.
show it to me Rachel
1 year to the day we will be turning in our ID4 lease and it’s going to be a buyers market. We’ll either have more cheap leases or heavily depreciated off-lease cars to choose from. Can’t wait.
Low mileage Chevy bolts are going for around 17k. I would pick one up if I wasn’t in the middle of a lease.
I’m waiting out for electric to be my next car. Still driving my 2008 Honda fit that’s falling apart lol
I’ve been driving electric for about 10 years now, starting with the BMW i3. Used electrics are the best deal in cars. As others have pointed out, it helps to be able to install a level 2 charger at home. There is very little maintenance and the overall cost of ownership is much lower. As long as you’re not driving 100+ miles each way in the cold of winter, they’re great. If you’re on the fence and looking for a used car, there’s a lot to buy for very little dollars.
At this point I would probably be interested in dipping my toe into EV’s when it is time for a new car. But the uncertainty of replacement batteries when I need it makes me hesitant.
My current ICE car is 12 years old and the aftermarket could supply parts to replace the whole powertrain if I needed/wanted granted it would be really expensive, but so are decent used ICE cars these days. How realistic is that with an EV once the OEM stops making the parts themselves these days?
Not trying to argue if that is not a problem, I just genuinely don’t know. And I bet a lot of other people would be in the same boat.
The wave with Chinese depreciation will be brutal
Hardly cheap my man. But would say good value. I am definitely looking into getting my first EV via the used market in the next month or so.
Get ready? Already snagged one LOL.
I swapped my v6 Merc for an EV and couldn’t be happier! My wife won’t drive her ICE car now.. hates it..!
