    What kind of “repairable, non-disposable crap” do you think EVs have that gas cars don’t?

      It’s the parts, stupid! EVs use proprietary parts that cost a fortune to replace. We’re talking thousands of dollars for proprietary headlights, whereas an old gas car you can buy new headlights for $30 at an auto parts store.

      It didn’t have to be this way. But manufacturers saw an opportunity for maximum greed and they took it!

              Yet nobody is buying used electric cars. The resale price is abysmal. US adoption of electric cars has stalled as a result.

              You wanted an explanation of what’s going on and then when you don’t like the answer you react negatively.
