Covid, a temporary vehicle disruption, caused used vehicles to appreciate in value instead of depreciate. The market is not very robust at all, unless you think paying above sticker price for a used car is something people can do. Keep in mind the people who would need to buy these are not the landlords who can install the infrastructure.

This wasn't unique to used vehicles -- new vehicle prices also spiked during the same time frame.

At roughly the same rate. The problem is far more people were hurt by used car prices than those of us fortunately well off enough to buy new cars.
