The problem as I see is, down to the lack of confidence in buying the 2nd hand or even the 3rd hand market. Which is mainly to do with consumer concern over range as the battery degrades and the high cost of a replacement batterey. As time goes on consumer confidence will grow. The other thing is 2nd hand values across the board are still alot higher than the norm, following the pandemic and chip shortage. Sooner or later 2nd hand values will fall to where they should be. Whether BEV’s, ICE or rockets fall first, is yet to be seen.
@Kezo The battery degradation was my main worry, but I’ve watched quite a few YouTube videos now and I’m very reassured. Constant rapid charging and very cold conditions are the worst culprits. If we went for something in the 30k mile region we should be fine as it’s most likely to be a family car charged at home rather than a rep mobile being rapid charged every few days.
