Wonder if the EV bubble has burst??

Not burst but slowed because they delayed the ban on combustion engines I think. Values are not good because newer ones are now cheaper and the range better.

Manufactures have to hit a set percentage of new sales being electric, so for example a new Honda I read was being offered with 0%, massive discounts to the extent they were being sold at a loss in order that they hit the target.
