I'm seeing 2018 Bolt EV models with about 30,000 miles for about $16,900 in my area. That's a very comparable car to a 2018 Elantra.

The major difference between the EV and gasoline used car market is that viable used models for a wide variety of segments aren't plentiful on the EV market yet.

I can buy a brand-new electric work truck but can't buy a used one from 2018. You bought an Elantra, which is coincidentally comparable to an EV model produced in 2018. But if you had wanted a non-luxury 3-row SUV, a minivan, or a non-luxury large sedan, there would have been nothing used to choose from.

As far as longevity, EVs do much better than most people realize. There is precedent and history, as the Tesla Model S has been on the market for over a decade. Here are some anecdotes from people who have driven the Tesla Model S for over 10 years with 6-digit odometers:
