Yes, I’ve argued that too. While there is the factor of fast changing technology, I think used EVs are a great buy right now.

I’m not in the market for an additional car although I’ve actually been tempted anyway …. I have two college kids sharing my old Subaru and it would prevent a lot of fights if I had another old vehicle for them

Then again my older kid just applied for a summer job with like 90 miles each way commute so may not be appropriate for limited or unknown range
