The problem is that shrinking EV gas tank is on the more 'lower priced' EVs, cars that more people can reasonably afford new and used.

Now, it is a 2013 Leaf, with no liquid cooling, but who knows when more of these non cooled electric cars start to fall onto 2nd hand owners after 6-7 years, long after the warranty expires. The person above lost 33% of their range in 7 years, I highly doubt my ICE car will lose that kinda mileage in 7 years.
