> sell them at around 25% of their original value
This does not seem likely as even by adding this many cars to the market, there’s no way they would sell at 25% of value unless there’s shenanigans.

agree.
and how does decommissioning 2200 chargers cost $50M - $100M? that's $22K - $44K each.
you turn the breaker off. you don't need to rip the chargers out.
regardless of whether or not you think it's a good idea, breathlessly inflating it to "might be" a billion dollars does not convince me more.
Buying up gasoline vehicles and buying fossil fuel for them will cost money. But I don't think that'll be a billion dollars.
As it is not, this journalist does not have credibility with me.
This whole situation is dumb, but 25% of original value doesn't make much sense.
These days, a decent used EV costs less than that, so I imagine the government will have to dump whatever model they have 25K of for $20k or less. That’s probably still more than 25% msrp, but not by much.
I’ve been looking for low price teslas and haven’t found a drop yet. But I hope it comes soon.
