I figured electric cars would devalue the most. Those batteries need to be replaced and doing so costs more than the car is worth. These lemons would be nowhere near the market share they now hold if not for heavy government interference.

EVs are subsidized to begin with, so they have dubious value notwithstanding the battery point you made.

EVs have a big upfront investment. EV buyers will likely hold onto them longer to wring the value out of them. High end luxury car buyers are often owners who can afford frequent replacements, so they replace in five years. Audi owners want to replace before stuff starts breaking.

What fool would buy a used GM or Ford EV? Or for that matter new Ford or GM EV.

One of my friends owned a 2014 Tesla S. When he traded it in order to buy a 2021 Tesla S his battery was still charging to over 80%. He wanted the 2021 model because it has hardware upgrades that the 2014 lacks.
