Conclusion: used, but for a reason
If you’ve been waiting for “that right moment” to go electric, you’ve just caught it. Used EVs offer a price-to-performance ratio that new models simply can’t match—at least not without financial pain. And while the market hasn’t exploded yet, there’s already a… electric feeling in the air.
Now is not the time to think. Now is the time to recharge. And leave. Quietly, quickly and wisely.
