Q What should I look for when buying a used electric car?

When buying a used EV, it’s important to consider:

• Battery health – Check the battery's state of health, as degradation affects range.
• Warranty – Some manufacturers offer long battery warranties, which may still apply.
• Charging options – Ensure the car supports the charging speeds you need.
• Service history – A well-maintained EV is less likely to have hidden issues.
• Range – Older models may have a lower range than newer EVs, so ensure it meets your needs.
• Software updates – Some EVs receive updates that improve performance and range, so check if the car is up to date.
