You are comparing expensive German cars with expensive German power prices. If you look at at cheap used Nissan leaf and pay half of that for power, then the only argument for petrol is the range which you don't have on old and cheap EVs.
Unfortunately here in Estonia we have winters so power is expensive. A Nissan Leaf isn't a very nice car, an ICE with a similar ride quality would be cheaper too.
Used car economics is wildly different, but it ONLY works because people are still afraid of the batteries. Remove that fear and EVs should depreciate significantly LESS. Actually for that point: if you factor in the current extra depreciation EVs have, it's even worse to buy a NEW EV atm. And Ford is trying to sell new EVs, not used ones. Once this trend reverses, new EVs become a better buy and used ones might become a worse buy.
