Most of my discussions with folks that know more than I do lean towards it not being the best idea right now. I don't drive a ton of miles per year, maybe 7,500. I would also need to install an at home charger, at which time I'd also want to upgrade the electric service coming in. The $5k starting price on that eliminates any savings in gas. Charging stations here trend somewhere between expensive and non-functioning. The next next car I buy (after whatever I buy now) will definitely be an EV.

That said, the OP is absolutely right. There are some absolute bargains out there for used EVs.
