Brutal depreciation... but also a really great market for used EV buyers.

I had thought about the incentive angle. New EV buyers get a doubly hard pitch, because the used stock has the rebate priced in (neither the buyer nor seller views it as a car worth the MSRP, they both deduct the rebate).

I bought a Chevy PHEV with ~150,000 miles to daily drive with, and ya know, when it dies it dies. It was a few grand, it was the cheapest I could get and shockingly decent for the price, so I am that person in the electric beater XD
