The Mini’s tech will be outdated (but it’ll still have a cult following) and the Polo will probably also be out of production (with a smaller cult following) so it’s hard to guess. We’ll all be using Roubles by then so….
With domestic energy prices rising astronomically and commercial fast chargers getting as expensive to use as fossil fuel it’s impossible to guesstimate how much it’ll be to run an EV in a few years time, which will affect used values one way or the other.
Petrol prices seem to be going only one way too.
It’ll get to the stage where it’s a 50/50 split on whether people can actually use an EV to daily because of charging limitations, so therefore once uptake hits a certain point demand will level out until infrastructure catches up. That in turn will limit the amount of ICE cars being registered to a point where they too will become a steady amount much lower than now, meaning demand for used versions of either should reflect whatever the market sits at during that point in time. Longer term EV’s are expected to take over so maybe fossil fuel will become harder to get hold of thus restricting its desirability further. Those are my thoughts. I’m usually wrong!
