Can't find the source right now but I'lllook for it.

Strange that I mostly glossed over your comment, and just now am discovering it to be quite true. I'll link the Torquenews article since the other site is a cesspool:

I've been using this website to track prices. Note that you have to adjust the date range to see the dip and rise in Leaf prices.

Prices hit bottom in March of last year, and then rose to a high in June. They are just now beginning to fall back to the low prices from early last year.
Coupled with this...

You called this one. Fuel prices are up, conspiring to ruin my perfect timing on a used EV.
Model 3 production should hit a good stride within a month, and Nissan is advertising the Leaf 2.0, so I assume they are now available. I would think this would drive down the price of gen I EVs, but I'm just not seeing that yet.
Perhaps fuel prices will go back down over the winter, making next January an opportune time to pick up a used EV?
