A second hand ICE car is still better than a new EV though.
We kinda solved cars 15 years ago as an ICE car from 2010 is almost indistinguishable from a new one. I’m waiting for my 2008 toyota to retire but it just keeps on going to the point where I think it’ll last me 10 more years. I don’t drive much but it takes e20 as fuel (heavily dilutated gasoline) and with CVT gearbox it’s super cheap to maintain so I really don’t feel like me upgrading to an EV would make any difference other than promote EV infrastructure.
My next car will definitely be an EV though primary because I expect battery tech to be much better by then.
A second hand EV is better than a second hand gas car though, so… What’s your point? What’s with this entirely outdated talking point at all? There are EVs old enough to vote.
Yeah I guess India where they’re still working on adopting anything that isn’t either a moped or 2 ton diesel, but pretty much everywhere else you can get a second hand EV. Even in the rural US.
The Racist Anglosphere and the underdeveloped slave capital of the world India are the ones far behind the curve, but Europe seems to be coming to their senses so that really just leaves India and the other developing country of the US.
Everywhere there’s a strong primary sales market, there’s a strong secondary sales market.
Also it’s not bigoted to point out India’s massive internal failing to develop even close to the same pace as China despite having a twenty year head start and much more western investment. The country in taking after its western masters decided against communism (for the most part) and has obviously suffered greatly for it. But hey, they get to be the underpaid call center workers of the western world, hurting western countries and bringing in so much… oh… oh no… what happened to all the money.
5 years enough to develop a second hand market? I double dare you to go on any 2nd hand market website of these countries and prove it to me. Lmao what an utter bafoon you are.
You can buy EVs secondhand. You’d be hard pressed to find a sub 10k EV “beater” but there are plenty of used EVs in the 15-25k price range in my area, and are equivalent in features to used cars in the same bracket.
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?

Sadly the second hand ev market doesn’t exist everywhere.

Source? Cause the world is bigger than USA and India. You are just an ignorant biggot.
Sure, Chinese EVs have been popular in Africa, South America, Russia, and South East Asia for the last five years, which covers 75% of humanity.

I feel you. My 20 year old Honda that I bought for $3k cash 3 years ago is reliable and easy to work on.
I do like the idea of not ever buying gasoline again, but I also like the idea of a $32 a month insurance payment and no car note, too…
It’s amazing how this article ignores this obvious fact and even more amazing that people downvote it.
Don’t forget the shitty electronics and spyware in newer cars.

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.

You know other countries have had EVs for just as long as the US?
Nope, prove it then. Show me the numbers I’ll wait. 2nd hand ev market is basically non existent still.
Maybe just try googling it? Nah, you’d probably whine about being told to do that…

Took less than 2 minutes, and there you go, looks like you can view used EV listings in ~60 different countries on that site alone.
What a small world view you must have, to think that used electric cars only exist in the USA…
That’s like what, around 2000 cars listed there? Versus hundreds of thousands of ice cars? Lmao
