It is a question more intended for the people that plan to keep his cars for more then 10 years.
If you follow the news, there’s a lot of things that will separate the EV from 2027 (+/- give it or take a year) to the early generations.
From common diagnostic tools, new generations of batteries, including solid state batteries, more standardise charging, more widespread use and support of fast charging, cheaper prices, etc. Legacy autos will finally start to use dedicated and optimise car frames for EV and not adaptations.
In short, there’s a lot coming that may feel to the people with pre 2027 cars that are more outdated and limited, was wonder what you thing about this.
For example I have friends and colleagues that are waiting for this “new generation” of EV to consider the switch.
I generally keep my cars for 8-10 years, and don’t worry about most of the above. Yes, cars will advance, and that is happening at a fast rate right now with EVs in particular. Improved infrastructure benefits everyone, not just new EVs and advances to new cars don’t make my car any less capable than it ever was.
Because I keep my cars for so long, and generally put more than 200K miles on them, I don’t care that much about resale value. They usually don’t have a lot of resale value, and I expect that to continue.
IMO, the concerns above really boil down to: Will my car have good resale value, and that’s more a question for those that don’t keep their cars for 10 years or more…
