>>> What was the remaining range for those replacements? >> Who cares?

The point is that when comparing dollar for dollar, I can likely get a used ICE for the same price that will work out better for me. If I already had an ICE car and was looking for a second car just for daily commutes, the EV may make sense. But the hassle of having to get a rental for longer trips - I don't know if it's worth it. Also have to consider resale value - will people buy the (already used) EV from me if the battery has significantly reduced range? (BTW, in my social circle, I don't know anyone who's bought a used EV - they all buy new ones out of fear) > Can you get a better car for $25,000.00? I have a list of things I want and need from a car. I can find plenty ICE for $15K that matches my requirements. $25K is the max I'll go for an EV, figuring that I may save $10K over about 8-10 years in gas based on the calculators I've used. I can't find even one EV that matches my requirements for $25K. Each one has some problem - too little room or some other annoying problem (e.g. Ioniq 5 not having rear wipers). I can get great ICE cars for $15K. I cannot get a single used great EV for $25K.
