I’ve often wondered if it’s actually worth switching out car for an electric car. I always buy used but when you put it like that it seems like even if I trade in my gas car there’s still going to be the same number of gas cars on the road since someone else would be driving it?
We need to increase the proportion of new cars that are electric. These these then work their way through the used car market.
Buying a used electric car helps with this, as it increases demand for used electric cars, meaning it’s more likely someone buying a new one can sell it for a decent price, meaning they are more likely to buy one.
