'Almost impossible to sell used electric vehicles': EVs make up less than 2% of used car sales across European countries
A report by independent European outlet Euractiv explained that the largest electric vehicle markets in the European Union have not seen anywhere near the expected numbers for a secondhand, used-car market. In Germany, which has the most electric vehicles on the continent, used EVs only make up 1.58% of new ownership registrations as of November 2023. This is an increase over 1.23% in 2022. The figure comes from a group representing German car dealers (ZDK), while other industry groups from Italian and Spanish markets reportedly place their used EV registration rates at less than 1%. Friedrich Trosse, the general secretary of AECDR, a trade association of European car dealers, said that gas-powered vehicles are the safer option in the eyes of the consumer. "The situation everywhere in Europe is pretty much the same. To say it very clearly, it’s almost impossible to sell used electric vehicles,” Trosse claimed. The car dealer representative also tacked on to the issue of electric cars being too expensive. "Specifically the small cars, if they exist, are incredibly expensive, much more expensive than their [internal combustion engine] alternative." There is a "lack of trustful and aligned data" said Philippe Vangeel, AVERE secretary general. Vangeel noted that there should be an increase of electric vehicle purchases in Europe when governments force consumers' hand through low-emission zones. “Many people want the government to protect the consumer. A much more urgent problem is to protect the consumer from the government.” ― Milton Friedman |

I haven’t read every post in this thread, but this is by far one of the best I have read and I haven’t seen or read another one in this thread that addresses the India factor.

Our current open boarders crisis has never been about saving the oppressed, it has been about oppressing and destroying the middle class in America. It ignores human trafficking, drug importation, crime and the obvious threat of terrorism, it is about lowing the standard of living in America. We are still Ronald Reagan's "Shinning light on the Hill" but just barely. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16 Last edited by Car-Addicted; 01-14-2024 at 07:37 AM.. |

So the province of Alberta is experiencing winter right now. The previous government fully embraced "green energy" alternatives, solar and wind. Given the current weather 93% of their electricity is being produced by burning LNG.
The Federal government has mandated no more ICE after 2035, and want to get away from oil & gas and move to heat pumps for home heating. Yesterday in Alberta an emergency alert was put out. |
