    This quote from the linked article is the key:

    More and more people know someone who actually owns an EV. And more people are trying an EV to see how they drive.

    great news, but not sure how that makes them an 'appreciating asset', i guess if you bought one and didn't drive it?

    It is an appreciating asset if you consider how a BEV improves all aspects of your life, not just the value of the vehicle. The more you drive it, the more it "appreciates" when compared to driving an ICEV. Some people seem to have a hard time understanding the concept.

    Not according to the chairman of the Whitehouse Council of Economic Advisers. He said he expects that inflation will remain stable through this Fall on television today. He said the primary reason for the low inflation rate is cheap retail gasoline prices.

    Looks like they're up here, too. For a while you could get a 500e or Spark EV under ten grand. Not so much anymore.
