    This is for cars in the USA, however the points made are interesting.

    This site loves data so dive in and poke around.

    "The study analyzed over 2.2 million 1- to 5-year-old used cars sold in May 2023 and 2024 and found that the average used EV price is down 29.5 percent year-over-year versus 6.1 percent for the average used gas car price.
    In May 2024, the average used electric vehicle was priced at $28,767,
    or 8.3 percent below the average gas car at $31,424. These prices show a
    major turnaround from a year ago, when the average used EV cost $40,783
    and the average used gas car cost $33,469." (US $)

    As the article says there is sign of the EV's price bottoming out. We may
    see a stock market like crash.

    A second question is why are people no longer wanting to buy EVS in such numbers? Surely it is not that a dose of the real world has shown what
    reality is.

    Do we need more power plants or just organic green ones?

    Yes, let's clear-fell all our forests to feed the green-approved
    "biomass" power plants which burn green-approved "wood pellets" -- a green-approved phrase which means to clear-fell all our forests.

    At least part of the decline in used values is likely attributable to
    the rapid decline in new EV cost. There is a lot more competition in the
    market than there was a few years ago while increased manufacturing
    scale is helping to bring costs down.
