We’re driving a 2003 and that’s the newest vehicle we’ve owned. Paid $3,000 for it which is the most we’ve ever spent on a vehicle. What’s a 20 year old electric vehicle going to be like? Will need new batteries, electric motor rebuilt? What will that cost? $5,000.00
Yeah, they’ll have all the peasants walking or riding bikes just like in third world shitholes which is what they really want.
Like you, I like to buy used cars. I’ve been tinkering with cars and motorcycles since I was 13, and I have the knack for picking a good one. This skill serves me well. Two of my cars are ‘02 and ‘04 and will easily last another ten years. You cannot do this with an EV. What you are buying is largely a battery, with a defined useful life. This will force me and everyone else to come into line and buy new only. Gone will be the days when you can find a bargain.
