EVs aren't good private/personal buys in the first three years, but they are stupendously good thereafter. The majority of EVs are bought by fleets for company car drivers. Those fleet companies bare the depreciation, and still work profitably, and the drivers are fortunate to benefit from very cheap motoring.once these fleet cars come up for sale, they are SUPERB buys.
Even with ongoing depreciation thereafter (which slows down MASSIVELY), they are FAR cheaper to run, have generally lower costs of ownership, and are categorically cleaner for the environment. Charged with renewable sources, they'll break even with ICE alternatives after only 7-8,000 miles!
So, in summary, you buy a 3 year old EV, and you get a great value purchase, their depreciation slows right down, they're far, far cheaper to run every day, MUCH better (still far from perfect) for the environment, and these days, pretty hassle-free motoring. What's not to like about that?
If you want to spend far more money for every mile you drive, and consciously pollute the environment far more, go right ahead and buy another ICE.
It's truly that simple.
