    I don’t know anything about the situation in the US, but you get a great second hand EV for around 12.000€ here in Germany. Combustion is cheaper to buy but gets more expensive over time. It has over 250 moving parts, EVs have like 7.

      problem with second hand ev is that if the battery has to be replaced, might as well just buy new car entirely

        Nearly all cars I tried had SOH over 90%. The car I bought is from 2021 and has 94,9% battery health. Buy a 25€ OBD2-dongle and read it when you test-drive it. If the owner cared just a little, battery health is not a problem. Don’t let fossil disinformation scare you.
