You’re talking about 25 to 30 years ago, I should hope that EV cars have made great improvements by 2040! At which point I should be retired.It's not that long ago that just having any car was the exception rather than the rule. Thinking back to when I was a kid perhaps there would be one car in a family. Now there's families with more cars than drivers.
We are in the very early days of EV production. The landscape will look very different in 10 years time plenty of secondhand EVs around.
To be honest with you I did envision my diesel burner being my last car, as such I took what to me was a massive loan (a small fraction of the cost of an EV capable of towing 1.6 tonnes) and bought as new as I could with a low a mileage as I could find, I’ve still got years left paying it off.
Normally I’d spend between 2 to 3 grand and only replace when it cannot be repaired. I can’t ever imagine an EV that is still usable coming into that price range, so I envision driving taking a Uturn and becoming a status symbol again. Just hope that there is public transportation systems in place by then.
