      Yes they do, if you want to save money buy it used.
      Battery technology is still evolving fast, and the competition is cutthroat ATM (except in USA).
      I expect EV prices to keep to decline for at least the next 2 years. And we will get more durable safer cheaper solid state batteries beginning next year.

      But for now I’m sporting a cool VW ID.4, which is an absolute luxury car compared to anything I’ve ever had before. It’s amazingly smooth and quiet to drive, it can take tight curbs like compact, and although it’s not a powerhouse by today’s standards, it feels plenty responsive compared to an normal ICE car.
      I bought it 4 years old for less than half price, and it is as good as new!
      I highly recommend it.

        Around me, 4 year old EVs are teenager cars. You can get a good one for $6000 or less, just o/n charge at 120V.

          Well here this one cost $32000.- IDK what o/n 120V is. But we can charge with 11 kWh from home. And 140 kWh on a fast charger. I doubt you get a car anywhere that is near this quality for ony $6k. Not even in China. 4 year yes, this quality no.
