Prices are absolutely changing and the used car market for EVs is ramping up.
Family member was looking for an electric car, but found new ones still a bit too expensive. There have been discounts from manufacturers. They decided to go for used. Bought a VW ID.3 for 23k Euro with 16000km. That's a car from 2 years ago. No crashes, battery still at 97% capacity.
- saiya-jin 3y agoYeah, that's type of car I am willing to spend max 6-7k used, in OK condition. Of course it won't be 2 years old, thats fine. That's the prices I am talking about.
- mschild 3y agoThat's fair and I'm not suggesting it's perfect. Even used EVs are expensive but it no surprise given the initial cost. Originally, that car sold for around 40k. That's a ~50% drop in 2 years and that car wasn't an outlier. Stands to reason that with advancing age and ever cheaper EVs we will see cheap used ones in your price range in a few years.
