not a single person in their right mind would purchase a used EV - PERIOD!

And the prices of used gas vehicles will skyrocket

This is a new one.

The one that sank was the Felicity Ace. This one is the Fremantle Highway.

The range can be highly dependent on HOW you drive the electric car. When they test them, they probably have drivers that are well versed in ways to maximize the range, but average joe doesn’t drive like that.

Just guessing, but maybe the range displayed is what you can get without the battery going below 20%.

Thanx for the info. So EVs destroyed 2 car carriers and $300 million worth of cars so far. If I owned a car carrier I would tell the EV manufacturers to go find some other means of delivery and not transport the stupid things.

These fields of rotting Chinese EVs, many are too small for Americans. But they are good for Chinese with no automobile.

We are now importing thousands of mainland Chinese, via the southern border; Hispanics also tend to be small.

So with the 5 million known invaders under Biden, there is a ready market, especially if the government includes them in the list of free stuff for illegals.

It not the sale of these vehicles that count in the EV push, but the quantity which will create the demand for EV services leading to the end of ICE vehicles.
