There's little public charging infrastructure here in the upper Midwest as of yet, which is a significant barrier for many.
What worries me if what happens when manufacturers abandon battery platforms. There have been a few stories lately of older cars- the Chevy volt comes to mind- where the batteries aren't made anymore, and replacing one is in the $20-30k, several times over what the car actually sells for.
Instead, it'd be nice if the battery packs were built in a modularized way, so that if one section dies, it can be replaced rather than the entire pack.
Otherwise, buying a used EV is a massive gamble for lower class folk who typically only buy used cars.
