Buyer's guide
Mileage tells you least about a used electric car
A used electric car is not an old car. The median model year of the full-electric cars traded in August was 2023, the median odometer reading 56,000 km and the median transaction price 34,900 €. You are buying an almost-new car at almost-new-car money, and that moves the checklist somewhere else entirely from the cheap end of the trade. This guide is for anyone weighing up their first used electric car, and it answers one question: what do you look at before you buy? The battery's state of health, the model year, the charging hardware and the suspension. · 20 min read
