Gas prices might be getting ready to do what years of EV advertising could not do. They might get people to look at electric vehicles.
My wife and I purchased a new EV in October, and I’ll be honest, we have been very pleased with it. More than pleased, really. It fits our family well. For us, it gets about 250 miles on a full charge, which is more than enough for what we need most days. One of the things I enjoy most is plugging it in at night, walking away, and knowing it will be ready to go again the next morning. We do not wake up wondering if we need to stop for gas before work, school, appointments, practice, or a trip to town. It is just ready.
A few years ago, a lot of people leased EVs because incentives made them more affordable. Many of those leases are now ending, and those vehicles are expected to return to the used market. Industry estimates suggest more than 200,000 EVs could come off lease in 2026, and some estimates say the number of used EVs returning to the market could be even higher.
When a lot of vehicles hit the market at the same time, prices for these vehicles will be lower. That could make a used EV a much more realistic option for families who would never consider buying.
If you mostly drive to work, school, the store, appointments, ballgames, practices, and around town, a used EV might become one of the more interesting vehicle options over the next year or two.
So here is the question.
If fuel keeps climbing, and used EV prices start dropping, at what point would you seriously consider buying one?
Or are you still a hard no?

For those of you that have never worked as a professional automotive technician, you may not know that a technician's set of tools and toolbox may cost more than your new car. The shop does not supply a technician's tools. Technicians have to purchase them with their own money, and they continue to have to purchase more tools as technology keeps changing.

We have an ethanol mandate. Do we need a fertilizer mandate? How would that even work?
Fertilizer suppliers basically force price to match grain price (even though they say they don’t). The Iran thing is different, but in normal conditions government forces it match grain price.

Fertilizer oligopoly controls supply and price… government allows it… government creates crisis… taxpayers fund expansion… nothing done about oligopoly.
