Not defending them, but if I can’t afford a tank of gas I likely can’t afford a whole new car. Hell I can afford a tank of gas and I still can’t afford a new car.
For a while, with state and federal rebates, new EVs were ridiculously cheap but a lot of people didn’t realize it. My brother leased a Nissan Leaf for my niece for $100 a month. I realize leasing isn’t for everyone, but $100 a month for a car for a teenager is pretty damn reasonable until she can afford to buy something for herself.

Yeah not a lot of second hand ev’s out there to buy.
And then you need to consider how much battery capacity is left, pretty sure that’s a really big cost to replace?
Unless you are buying one with over 200k miles (still likely 90% there), capacity is out something you have to worry too much about.
