   @dan For real. One of our cars is a 2015 Nissan Leaf. It's still just fine for our purposes. I recently pulled the diagnostics and the battery health was like...75%? We bought one just like it for my sister in law who goes to the grocery store and an occasional nearby restaurant. She charges off a standard 120V outlet because she drives so little.

     I've been seeing a lot of post from people noticing that used EVs are very cheap.

     If you are in the market don't overthink it.

     Step 1: Make sure you can charge at home or work. (This isn't everyone, and I can't really recommend an EV if you don't have home charging.)

     Step 2: Find a cheap used EV you like and buy it.

     Step 3: enjoy the car
