"This creates a tremendous market incentive for purely electric vehicles."

Can confirm. I bought a used Nissan Leaf two months ago from a dealer (being used it was a small fraction of the $25k Ford). A near-identical car (trim/mileage/colour) is now listed on their site for close to 30% more than I paid.

If we were living in normal times this would make no sense - but the TCO picture is changing that rapidly (owing to oil prices going up and used EVs being so scarce).

I paid $5k for my 2011 Leaf with 10 bars and 30k miles. Best decision ever. Seems like people are catching on though since theyre getting hard to find anywhere near that now.

Well.. these people you speak of can find their own.

Something something cold dead hands, etc.
