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.
If a car costs more to repair than it’s worth, it’s called a write-off. If a category of anything (doesn’t have to be cars) regularly ends up written off, it’s non-repairable and disposable. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible to repair, just that it’s not worth repairing. Anything can be repaired if you’re willing to spend unlimited money on it.
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?

You’re moving the goalposts. You said they were “disposable” and “non-repairable”.
