  • Principal Bob looks at three used cars for sale and compares them to purchasing new cars. The answer might surprise you! Also, why your two year old electric car is not worth what you thought.

    Great video. You are spot on with respect to used vs new BEVs you reviewed.

    These are definitely volatile times on the car value front. After going ev though, it’s hard to turn back for gas. Networks are getting better each month too!

      Yes indeed! When Cheyenne Wyoming gets an EA station, you know we are making progress.

    We love our used 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge. And at 60,000 miles I am finally spending $$ on maintenance for my e-Golf: new tires.

    The maximum income you can make and still qualify for the used EV rebate is much MUCH less than the income limit to qualify for the new EV rebate.

    Great time to buy a used BEV!

    2024 ID.4 in depth review?

      When I get my hands on one of them, I will put out a review. Thanks for the input.

    Thanks for the information Principal Bob. Recently I purchased a 2019 etron over the new model, primarily due to costs. I've been happy with my purchase and agree the car is amazing to drive. Looking forward to your future videos.

      Excellent choice! Also, you have more cobalt in your battery and it will actually charge faster from 20-90 percent than a 2024. It mitigates some of the advantage of buying new. Love to know how much you paid for the car? I am seeing them as low as $38,000. That is a deal!

    • @michaelmiranda5709

      Funny you ask. I actually bought the etron from your video that same day. Based on my charging , I've been seeing a 195 mile range at 80%. Looking forward to doing a small road trip to see how the range holds up.

    Apple car play not available with Tesla.

      Tesla now allows Apple Music on their system. However, I always feel like I am driving a cheaply. built car when I owned my tesla. The materials and workmanship are poor. Good software and fast, but not my idea of a long distance car or a daily driver.

      Just Apple Music is available On a Tesla. This is not the same as Apple Car Play. I use Apple Music in my Model 3, but I wish it had the entire package.

    How much would you charge to install a full time rear view camera?

      Hi John, if you go into any car toys store, they will have units that will work in any car. The monitor won’t be integrated into the dash, but it will work, well, is wireless, and let you keep an eye on the backside of your car.

    Leaf is not good for road trips, but fine for local diving.

    • @electricprincipal543

      I agree with you. Also, I went to a new Electrify America in Wausau, WI two weeks ago they did not install a CHAdeMO plug in any of the chargers. This is telling me that the old Nissan system is about ready to die as EA updates chargers.
