I agree with your last statement. But much of the billions of dollars being spent by the big car dealers are for the development of much cheaper EVs, so this will be a natural progression of the EV market. Again, we are at the beginning.

BTW, I bought my Jaguar I-Pace used with 15,000 miles on the odometer. Total price with the $7,500 tax rebate was $43,000. Don't forget about the growing used EV market.
