I've been seeing a lot of post from people noticing that used EVs are very cheap.

If you are in the market don't overthink it.

Step 1: Make sure you can charge at home or work. (This isn't everyone, and I can't really recommend an EV if you don't have home charging.)

Step 2: Find a cheap used EV you like and buy it.

Step 3: enjoy the car

A colleague has been driving used 1st gen Leafs to work for many years now. When the battery capacity has really dropped you can get them extremely cheap. But it only needs to have enough capacity to easily take him to work then back.

So he drives it for a few years until it's junk. Then resells it to Nissan for the battery materials and gets most of his money back.

@jannem A great use of cheap low range EV's is just to economically eat up all the boring miles you are forced to drive. Then you can have money for a weekend toy/truck for the lake/uber rides or what ever your preference is.
