Oil and gasoline prices are rising as the war in Iran intensifies and other global conflicts affect supply. That means pain at the pump for drivers filling up with gas.
Keep an eye on carmax, brand new EV’s are still cost prohibitive but you may be able to find a good deal on a used one.
Found one with less than 10k miles on it, absolutely worth it — weighing what I was paying for gas against what I pay to fill up my battery + the payment shows that I’m only paying slightly more for the EV. That is, while I still have my car payment (and hoping electricity doesn’t go up, which it 100% will).
Used EVs plummet in value, typically 50% gone in 3 years.
EVs have become the teenager car because you can get a used leaf without many miles for $5000.

Good news is a wave of ~300,000 off lease EVs are about to hit the used market, so there might be some good deals to be had.
