This article doesn’t cover depreciation.

Much harder to model but I’d assume quite important to consider.

That's why the sensible buy their EV second hand. I got a 1 year old demonstrator with low miles (3500 on the clock) for 30% less than buying a brand new one.

With an OBD dongle to check the true state of the battery, it's not a risky proposition, and the 7 year warranty on the car and 8 year warranty on the battery means I have some peace of mind.

I bought a new vehicle for 25% off MSRP, 30% off for a used one is not a good deal.
