The main problem is EVs are like a desktop computer or cell phone

After 3 years they are hopelessly obsolete and valueless/harder to use.

People might still enjoy them as a second car but if it costs to much in taxes and insurance why put up with the bother of it?

The government needs to make sure you ACTUALLY save money by owning an old EV to ensure the used buyers even consider the things.

As an aside half of US bought 2011 Nissan leafs have been exported overseas, if you find that disgusting we really need to fix the TCO issue and it’s not the up front price of a used leaf that is the issue

Many people would put up with limited EVs if they didn’t cost so much to keep
