just goes to show how people overreact to gas prices. they could have bought a <$25k used EV last year and saved $4k with the EV tax rebate. $4k is equivalent to $33/month over 10 years.

    they could have bought a <$25k used EV last year and saved $4k with the EV tax rebate.

    The people who were in the market for a car last year are by and large not the same people who are in the market today.

    Plus let's not forget, the actual EVs on the used market 12 months ago were different than today's. Someone looking to buy a 3-year-old car today has to look for something originally sold in 2023, whereas 12 months ago they were looking at 2022 vehicles, with fewer models available and significantly fewer vehicles actually manufactured and sold.
