Both EVs I've personally owned have been used. The next one will be new (Ioniq 6) but used EVs (which now come with a tax rebate) can make GREAT commuter cars.

"Used cars as a whole are around 7 percent less expensive than they were a year ago, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But used battery-powered models are 28 percent less expensive than a year ago..."

If you need help assessing whether a used EV is right for you, hit me up!
