    Doesn’t take much research to conclude the used EV market values are driven by ignorance and are a bargain right now.

    A 3 year old Ioniq5 is less than half the price of new, $28,000 go poof. Buying new EVs at >$50,000 makes no sense , but buying slightly used EVs at $12K-$24K makes total sense.

      And even if the battery is degraded with maybe 5%, it’s still an amazing car.

      Lets say you needed to replace the battery one day anyway. You’ll have saved on every other reparation, because EVs dont have moving parts that breaks all the time like in old cars.
