Huge depreciation and not enough range. Probably wait till next battery revolution and it becomes cheaper than ICE

Depreciation is pointless if you plan to keep your car until it breaks. The range is mostly an excuse that people use to justify they don’t want an EV. Most cars today have at least 400km range and fast charge that’s quick enough to give you a good range from a 15 min stop. Nobody should be driving 1000km non-stop as they claim they’ll be (and which is the main reason they use to talk about the range).

Those cars are really expensive compared to entry level ones, which clearly don’t have fast charging nor big capacity

Big depreciation is definitely a risk. Having an option to sell gives more flexibility.
What car do u drive?

I recently got a byd atto 3. Really happy with it.
The depreciation I’ve seen, at least here, is not very different to the one I see in non-electric cars.

BYD is approved recently in my country. Hope this competition bring price down.
