    That makes sense. Though I would like to see stats on number of cars going into the used car because of EV purchases. Judging on conversations with work colleagues, there’s still a lot of people keeping their old cars around because of “autonomy fear” - in other words, people convincing themselves they need a 400Km autonomy for that one time a year they might use their car on a vacation. Which is stupid, IMO, as they’d benefit more from selling their cars and renting on the rare occasion they need to do a really long distance, but it’s apparently fairly common. Though I’m sure that will change once people realize they are mostly not touching their old cars.

      That’s true, I see people around me keeping cars when there is no need. There sure is a lot of uncertainty atm though.
