I have another thread going trying to ascertain how close people are getting to asking price to figure out what I should look to pay. This is more about vetting an EV.
My gut tells me that SoH rules all, but I don't know that for sure. For example, if I find a '13 with 90% and the exact same configuration in a '14, also with 90%, is it likely that they will have the same pack life, all else equal? I'm trying to determine whether or not there's any value in paying a premium for a newer model.
I guess the same question holds for mileage. Let's say 15k with 90% SoH versus 30k with 90% SoH. Is there value in paying lots more for the lower mileage car.
In an ICE car, I'd have a better handle, but for an EV, I've got no clue.
Thanks!
