I plan on getting a good used EV in the next 5 years or so

Ask again in five years. I don’t think this is very predictable because the industry is so volatile right now. Case in point, you talk about the low price for a used model 3, but two years ago they had the best resale value if any manufacturer. On a bit longer timescale, Nissan Leaf was the first affordable, practical EV but a decade later its range is unacceptable and its batteries don’t last well enough

Dam, good points. I was looking at a leaf but ya 100k miles and the battery is done is kinda bullshit and not worth more than 5k new imo.
