One of my worries . . .
. . . is the used car market for the poor.
This California Government claims it has the disenfranchised and poor in mind and then continues to write legislation that makes it impossible to live on a poor man's wages.
Zoning laws and building codes drive up the price of real estate and pretty much ban low cost housing.
Depending on your health, your medical costs are your next biggest outlay.
Then, your transportation costs to get to your job and to function in an area that has poor public transportation services. A junker is a mandatory need. Keeping Junkers going is a necessity and the biggest cost for a DIY person is meeting the stringent state emissions test just so you can pay an ever increasing registration fee. Pretty much any ICE can be coaxed into performing into the 250k mile range before rebuilding the engine and transmission.
But, how much life will be in a used electric car when it hits the local used car lot? What will it cost? How much will it take to replace/rebuild the battery packs?
