USED EV Prices Have Skyrocketed in America and Australia (www.youtube.com)

Used electric vehicle prices are surging across the United States and Australia as rising demand, tighter supply, and improved confidence in EV technology fuel the resale market. The shift suggests that pre-owned EVs are becoming increasingly valuable as more buyers look for affordable ways to go electric.

The only problem with cost is that charging stations are starting to get as expensive as actual gas. I made a long trip this past week and had to pay an exorbitant amount just to travel for a few hours. I think it cost me $62 to travel 580 miles round trip, which is ridiculous (I was charged something like $.60 per KWh at stations and my car gets about 3.7 miles/KWh with the A/C on, the first 250 miles were on a home charge, which cost $.18/KWh). The stations used to be roughly $.40/KWh, but gods did they jack the prices up recently.

To put that into perspective, my old Prius would’ve gotten 48mpg. With gas being roughly at $3.75/gallon this weekend, it would’ve cost less ($45) to have driven the Prius. We don’t have it anymore though.

Still better than a gas vehicle, but these fucking charging stations are catching on and trying to eat us alive now.
