Sure, but the average American new car price is over 40k. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.autoblog.com/amp/2021/01/22/40k-average-new-car-price-what-to-buy-instead/

Nobody is telling you to get rid of your used car, but EVs are in line with what Americans are paying for new cars.

BREATHE! I agree with you. That is why nobody here is saying that we should get rid of all used cars! Nearly all regulation is for new cars! And it shouldn’t matter to more than 50% new car buyers, since the average car costs more than the bestselling EV!
