One reason I’m not ready to jump on the bandwagon.

Too close to the truth!

I've wondered what the "used EV market" will be like. Would you buy a used EV not knowing how long the battery will last vs what a replacement battery will cost? Although the car's software anticipates the percentage of battery life, how fast will it start to go downhill and how well will it hold a charge?

Good points - all pointing to the silliness of the entire EV push that has been propagated on us for a few years now. Never mind global warming is nonsense (watch the movie "Climate - the Movie" on YouTube - it's worth an hour to open your eyes if you don't believe that) despite all the virtue signalling nonsense pushed by the gub'ment, reality is starting to become apparent. Hertz, of course, is getting rid of the 20,000 EVs it acquired as they are not getting enough traction, and Fiskar is nearing bankruptcy.

So, get your popcorn and see how things progress from here.

That is not close, that IS the truth!!! And, where do these batteries come from? You guessed it, CHINA. If we go total electric, all China has to do to cripple us permanently, is to cut off exporting batteries to the U.S.

No, I agree that electric is NOT the way to go at this time. We are, and I include the world, not ready for total electric.

It seems that China is the only country that makes Li-Ion batteries.

That's only one of many reasons not to get an all electric vehicle, the list of dont is greater than the list of do.

US, Germany, Italy, France, Taiwan, and others. China has a 60% share. I think the countries of the world are waking up and not wanting to rely on single-sourcing something considered important for the near future.

Hydrogen fuel seems to be on the brink of replacing EV.

I have recently heard that a large (maybe the world's largest) lithium deposit has been found in, I believe Nevada. This is kinda like the shale oil surprise that makes the US oil independent

The problem with EV's is management. They skipped the most logical first step of making hybrids while battery tech is improved. Also, climate change is a hoax??????. You can argue what causes it but where have you been living the last 10-20 years? Open your eyes.
