Also worth considering: the huge, jaw-dropping depreciation on some EVs
should give us pause. That tells us what value vehicle customers actually
attach to them, and it's not good news for the EV movement. Tesla is a
notable outlier, however.
This i just my opinion, but a new vehicle generally has a warrantee that
will cover a battery (OK, some better than others). A used vehicle does
not generally have that, and a battery replacement is EXPENSIVE. Again,
my opinion, but after range anxiety, battery replacement cost is likely
the #2 public issue with EVs - particularly a used one.
They want to sit up high and not have to bend down to get in the
vehicle.
Citation needed. This sounds to me like a personal anecdote.
I'm 62 as of a few days ago and I can certainly agree with that
statement. When I get into my wife's Toyota Corolla, it is much harder
to fold myself in half and crawl down to get into it, than with a taller
vehicle. My primary vehicle is a RAM 2500 4x4 pickup which is sort of
the other direction, you have to step up to get in, but the door is far
larger so it is MUCH easier. And before someone asks, yes, I do NEED
and use the large heavy duty 4x4 vehicle on a somewhat regular basis.
