https://www.recurrentauto.com/research/used-electric-vehicle... says 1/4th of EV sales in Q2 2022 were used vehicles. with an average price of 40k although this is all complicated by a shortage in EV production.

40k... That is triple what I paid for my slightly used ICE car. With long warranty in country with extreme taxation... That is just bonkers level of pricing.
Yeah, the market is in a very weird place largely caused by the fact that there was a roughly 5 year period where the Model S was the only real electric car, so used EVs are much more likely to be extremely high end cars than new EVs (also the current car market in general is very wacky right now). It will probably be another 5 years or so before there are enough cheap EVs that have been on the road long enough to enter the used market in high volume.
