A big part of the increased availability of used EVs is that most electrics (according to an October 2015 CNBC article, around 80% in 2013 and 2014, currently around 75%) are leased as opposed to sold outright. This compares with about 28% of ICE vehicles being leased. As these three-year leases end, they are either auctioned off or sold by the dealership they were returned to. I haven't seen any data yet on the 'loyalty' rate of lease returnees either getting another EV or getting oil regressing back to fossil fuel.
