Ooops I guess the tax thing was a different thread... ________________________________ From: EV <[email protected]> on behalf of Damon Henry via EV <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2018 10:37 AM To: Electric Vehicle Discussion List Cc: Damon Henry Subject: Re: [EVDL] Why I Won't Buy a Tesla, Edison-Tesla Deja Vu
Perhaps different parts of the US have different optics when it comes to EVs, but here in the Pacific NW I definitely do not see a "regression into a less EV-friendly market." I have a saved Autotrader search here in the Portland area for used EVs. It currently has 166 Used OEM EVs available for immediate purchase. These are all OEM cars built within the last 7 years. They run the gammit in price range from $8k for Chevy Spark, Fiat e500, and older Nissan Leifs into the $12k - $30K range for VW eGolf, BMW i3 and newer Leifs up to the $50k range for used Teslas. There are other models available as well, but these are the bulk of what I could go buy today used... Of course they are all available brand new as well. Besides that I am constantly reading about the next new EV that will be available some time within the next 5 years... I'm very much looking forward to my next car purchase 😊 As far as the tax discussion that started this thread, all I can say is what a bunch of whiners. These flat fees in my opinion have hit a reasonable balance. By the way, you can still own an EV and not pay the tax, you just need to drive it on the private roads that you build and maintain yourself, no registration required.

That's especially true in the US, which is regressing into a less EV-friendly market. Maybe the "Tesla cachet" will carry them through, if they can maintain their reputation. Time will tell.
