4. The savvy shopper will buy one used.

I would imagine that would shorten the "payback time" even figuring in any tax credits on a new one. Now, I'm not really in the EV market at the moment. However, as a petrolhead, I have my EVs of interest. For example, the Kia EV6 GT. AWD, like 600 hp. Looking at one now on AutoTrader. Original window sticker was $64k. Dealer is asking for $40k with 7k miles. That seems like an absolute bargain. 0-60 in 3.2, 1/4 mile in 11.6. In comparison, that's faster than the new Mustang GT Dark Horse or Dodge Challenger Scat Pack. Honestly, those are Hellcat numbers. Amazing. Sorry, I got off topic. So, anyway...

I've looked at used "Mustang" Mach-Es and they have amazing prices, but that seems to potentially be due to a fairly problematic recall.

For the record, this is apples to apples, as I'd never buy a ICE car brand new either.
