I don't believe that, I've met people living on minimum wage with brand new mercedes, and I call those people brain dead. Buying a six figures car only makes sense if you're a millionaire.

EV cars are most likely not going to be exported to have a second life.

Well, that's absolutely inevitable given how things are going. It might not be in the next 10 years, but in 30? Almost certainly guaranteed.

What reason do you have to believe that?

What is already happening? Quick look at otomoto.pl shows plenty of ex-German EVs being brought over here already, I don't understand what you're insinuating.

There aren’t any 20 year old EVs to export yet…
