    One site. 2 minutes.

    And if you’d bothered to actually look, you would have noticed that there were 500,000+ EVs listed.

    You were wrong about a non-existent used EV market. It’s not a big deal, just take the L, learn from this to think first, then form an opinion, and then post, and move on with your life.

    Just to thoroughly put this to bed… Here is the per-capital EV adoption rates in 2021

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_car_use_by_country

    The US is nowhere close to the leaders on that chart. EV markets are actually better in many other places than they are in the US, and speaking from experience, I had no trouble finding a wide selection of secondhand EVs to purchase when I bought my car about a year and a half ago.

    In summary… You’re painfully, obviously wrong, and that is okay. Continuing to defend a point solely “supported” by ignorance and prejudice, is not.

        So what? 500,000 is still 250x better than the number you pulled out of your ass instead of actually reading and researching. It’s 250x better than what you thought.

        And in case you missed it, there are plenty of other countries that have a higher ratio of EVs to ICEs than the US.

        So the fact that there are more EVs to ICEs in other countries, and the fact that it’s possible to buy an EV in the US despite it’s low market penetration, means your statement about buying secondhand EVs…

        You can’t really.

        Is absolutely fucking wrong.

        If you want to argue this point further, show up with some actual data to defend your point in your next post, like maybe an article talking about how there are 0 used EV sales outside the US. Otherwise, you aren’t arguing in good faith, and you can be ignored for being a pissant little ankle-biter picking a fight for the sake of fighting.
