Why Used Electric Vehicles Are a Great Deal

  • A large supply of used EVs is available due to lifestyle buyers selling their vehicles.
  • Many original EV buyers used them as secondary cars rather than primary vehicles.
  • Used car buyers tend to be more practical, focusing on affordability over sustainability.

Significant Depreciation in Used EV Prices

  • Some Tesla Model S cars are selling for as low as $9,000.
  • Many Teslas are available in the $12,000–$15,000 range.
  • Compared to gas cars, finding a 2–3-year-old vehicle under $20,000 with 50,000–60,000 miles is rare.

EV Ownership Considerations

  • Perfect for city commuting and short-range travel (200–300 miles).
  • Possible incentives from local governments and electric companies can lower costs further.
  • Battery degradation is often minimal, with some vehicles maintaining 85% capacity.

EV Battery Replacement: Is It Worth It?

  • Even if a new battery is needed, replacing it for around $5,000 still makes the total cost attractive.
  • EV motors and drivetrains are highly reliable, lasting hundreds of thousands of miles.
  • Some used EVs may still have warranty coverage on their batteries.

Financial Advantages Over Gasoline Cars

  • Finding a good gasoline car under $20,000 is difficult, with most costing in the mid-$20,000s.
  • Saving $10,000 or more on an EV can put buyers in a better financial position.

Expert Consultation Available
