It’s the parts, stupid! EVs use proprietary parts that cost a fortune to replace. We’re talking thousands of dollars for proprietary headlights, whereas an old gas car you can buy new headlights for $30 at an auto parts store.
It didn’t have to be this way. But manufacturers saw an opportunity for maximum greed and they took it!
They’re selling them at deep discounts. The loss in resale values makes people wary of buying new ones. People want cars that hold their value, otherwise they won’t buy.

Hey moron, ICE cars use those, too.
Not used ones! There’s a whole market out there of used cars that are cheap and easy to repair.
Then your complaint is with new cars, not electric ones.
Yet nobody is buying used electric cars. The resale price is abysmal. US adoption of electric cars has stalled as a result.
You wanted an explanation of what’s going on and then when you don’t like the answer you react negatively.
LOL I didn’t ask for an explanation of anything.Tthis is not about me not liking your answer, it’s about it being factually incorrect.
Here you go. It’s not factually incorrect. EVs are too expensive to repair!
So your evidence that they’re too expensive to repair is that…people are selling them?
