‘Effectively worthless’: EV bubble bursts
The proverbial ‘arse’ has fallen out of the EV market, and it’s those who have already bought who are the biggest losers.
The electric vehicle bubble is bursting.
They were meant to be the environmental panacea - the guilt-free answer to travel.
And just think of all that money you’d save not having to buy increasingly expensive fuel (of which 49c in every litre is tax, by the way).
Cars have always been money pits. I’ve single-handedly put my mechanic’s son through private school.
But those who bought into the EV dream are fast discovering they’re the proud owners of even bigger money pits.
The arse has gone right out of the EV market.

      Yes and No. Used ones currently is a steal, so yes to your question. However, F15 is quite a lady-like vehicle, unless the car was well taken care by the current or previous owner then you should be able to get a good run for your money for the next 2-3 years. Fingers crossed. Again, this is BMW, on top of that F15 were their early plug-in hybrid model so buy at your own risk... LOL End of story this is not your typical hybrid like Toyota.

    In reality BEVs have been working great in the ARCTIC CIRCLE for over a decade. This was just a case of the Charging station having fault and not really related to the weather. Modern BEVs are natively designed for Ice Cold regions, as they are some of the most popular markets. Cute a mild 42C, I'm from Australia one time I had to walk to work in 48C, from Flinders Street Station. BEVs and their chargers work perfectly fine in our summer weather, I literally rode on an electric Train on that 48C day. Specifically a Siemens Nexas, the same company also happens to be an DC Fast Charger supplier. BEVs work great in any temperature humans lives in long term.
