What you don't get is that I have never owned a new vehicle.
My current fleet (6) was bought used, for under 10K total.
Those vehicles do anything I need done.
The absence of road salt use in this State means the bodies and chassis remain virtually rust-free, too.
Buy a used EV? :silly: :silly: :silly:
NOPE!
What's more, I have the tools, know how, and parts to keep most of the current ones running the rest of my life.

DITTOS. Except the rust... We have salt now, at least in this, Lake, and Lincoln counties...
I have another project if I ever get out of the house again. I am looking for a 70s full size Chevy van to do a lifted 4wd 1T conversion... An overlanding rig... I doubt I am making it back to deep bush on my legs anymore.
Dunno though. Might go all out and do a tandem axle trailer instead.
but I keep wondering if I can get my 12v Cummins and an Allison under that van... :pondering:
That kinda thing gives me the fizz... happy77

You would have to be a fool to ever buy a used EV unless they offer a free battery replacement for 10 years after purchase. Even then you would still be a fool, but with a disposable car.
