I doubt the value proposition of buying used EVs will ever reach parity with ICE unless the government forces some new battery warranty/replacement scheme onto EV manufacturers. I was talking to my credit union about this while applying for an auto loan and they said I'd have to be out of my mind to even consider a used EV. A Japanese ICE with 100k miles on it has a high chance of giving the second owner another 100k miles with no major expenses besides oil changes. With used EVs that battery pack is a ticking time bomb waiting to blow a hole in your wallet.
