@CamGuthrie Don’t forget the available rebates for buying a used EV: plugndrive.ca/electric-vehic…

You probably don’t care what my two cents are on this topic, but I’ve been hearing a lot of opinions lately about EV cars and I thought I’d give my own perspective. So stop reading now if you don’t care: 1. Yes, we own an EV. 2. We couldn’t afford a new one so we stared looking for used EV’s about 5 years ago. 3. We found one on Kijiji, a 2015 BMW i3 and got it Nov 2018. 4. The original sticker price new was almost $64k. We got ours with only 44,000kms on it for $29k. 5. Overall we’ve calculated we’ve saved maybe $14,000 in gas to date, and yes it feels good that it’s better for the environment. 5. We didn’t want to spend a lot money on a level 2 charger either, so I just kept looking for a used one and two years later, low and behold on Kijiji, I found one for $400 bucks. Half price again! Giddy up. 6. I guess what I hear a lot of people say is “those EV’s are too expensive, I’ll never buy one!” And yeah, they very well can be when new. I get it. But the used EV market is out there folks and you can find a good deal here and there. (I admit it might have been easier when we got ours in 2015 compared to some crazy used car prices today.) Heck, even a used original Nissan Leaf can be found for pretty good prices. 7. My point is this: Look around, you don’t have to buy new. Give the used EV market a chance before dismissing them outright.

@TheSmileCEO Couldn’t agree more! Are you coming to the YWHO Waterloo Region discussion next week? I know you’d have a great perspective.
