I have a car that is almost(technically) 19 years old;bought it several years ago at a good price & with some repairs it has served me well. It performs well & is reasonably easy on gas, even compared to smaller cars with smaller engines. What I wonder about is what I could replace it with in the years I have left & living on S.S. You know an EV would not & could not be a choice in an affordable price range. Even the current ICE vehicles are not much of a choice as far as economy, quality, price & performance are concerned when they become used cars. Too much electronics, poor engines, and price will be major concerns.
Used EV vehicles are cheap. That is because of the huge cost of battery replacement. Insurance for EV vehicles is very expensive because even a minor accident can total them because the batteries are assumed to be damaged. And homeowners insurance can be impacted if you have an EV that could catch on fire and burn down your house. AND, they don’t sound cool.
