Good.

Yeah we need more adoption and buying new is always a barrier to entry for many. Having a thriving used EV market is key.

I wish that was the case here in the USA - the prices are still high and not coming down in any appreciable way. I'm soft-looking for another EV to add to my garage and the prices are still near-new level for years old vehicles.

What do you have and what are you looking for? Best bang for your buck are either the Bolt or Model 3, with the M3 being a bit more expensive but much easier to buy.

I have a Bolt, i3, and a Leaf. I’m good for now. 😎

Eventually I’d like something along the lines of the ID.4, Equinox, Ioniq 5, Model Y.

I suppose that's a start, but they still feel pretty damn inaccessible to me.
