Electric cars are still a luxury good.....
- standardUser 7y agoYou can buy a used Leaf for under $15k. Not exactly luxury pricing.
- madhadron 7y agoFor $4k, as it happens. As I did a few weeks ago.
- 205guy 7y agoI bought a NEW Leaf for $16K (after tax credit) in 2017 when they were liquidating the 1st generation models. It has 30 kWh of battery and a range of about 120 miles. Right now, you can buy a USED Leaf under $5K, but it probably has a worn out battery with 60-70 miles of range usable: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/search/sss?query=nissan+leaf&sort=rel&max_price=5000 https://sfbay.craigslist.org/search/sss?query=nissan+leaf&so...
- crooked-v 7y agoEven taking that as a given, it's eminently reasonable to expect new home construction to last long enough that for future residents, electric cars will instead be a normal fact of life.
- m463 7y agoDid you price used electic cars recently? Electric vehicle sales in california are growing rapidly each year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug-in_electric_vehicles_in_California#Sales_and_market_share https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug-in_electric_vehicles_in_C... Also, once people switch to an EV, they don't generally want to switch back (quiet, clean, cheap, minimal maintenance)
