I bought it used; the car is ~10 years old, now (still works great and has a much higher resale value than your typical 10 year old car). I have never bought a new car in my life, so I am not really in a position to comment on relative prices of new cars, but they seem quite similar to me, keeping in mind that the electric car manufacturers seem to have been targeting a slightly up-market demographic in general. You also need to consider that electric cars are much cheaper to run than an equivalent petrol car.

It’s weird how we have to have these silly discussions where people must know that they’re obviously wrong before commenting.

I agree . . . oh wait, you think I'm the one who is wrong. How bizarre.
