MODERATORS
Probably folks who can’t afford new cars.
Then why don't they buy a second hand EV?
Probably because by the time most folks sell their EV's, they need new batteries, which aren't cheap and add a lot to the cost of the vehicle. Depending on the EV, the cost of a replacement battery can vary between $5,000 and $20,000.
