There is certainly a strong market for secondhand electric cars - I own one and it's the best car I've ever purchased. In terms of the "starting as low as 2000€", though, no. The battery alone in any usable electric car is likely worth more than that.

About the battery... Does that mean electric cars should have much better short/medium term depreciation and probably worse long term (as the batteries become too degraded for reuse)?
