Things to note when buying used electric cars

1. Check actual battery capacity

For electric cars, the most important thing that customers need to pay attention to is the battery. No one wants to buy a car with a battery that cannot be charged. Therefore, buyers need to check the battery as well as the actual battery capacity before deciding to buy a used electric car.

2. Has the battery been replaced?

Although electric cars use newer battery technology, battery failures may be rare, but they can still happen, especially for electric cars that have run a long distance, the battery is likely to have been completely replaced. Therefore, when buying a used electric car, make sure the battery has been replaced or not, to avoid the situation where some unexpected problems occur after the transaction is completed.

3. Battery charging capability

Checking the charging time is one of the very necessary notes when buying a used electric car. Because not all cars have the same charging time, especially used cars. Some regular electric cars only need a few hours to fully charge the battery, but some old electric cars need up to 20 hours to fully charge the battery.

4. Actual scope of operation

Like new cars, used electric cars are also classified into two groups: long-range and short-range. A new short-range car can travel 160,9344 km after a full charge. Long-range electric cars can travel more than 450,000 km. However, when buying a used electric car, it is often only possible to meet 3/4 of the original operating range. Therefore, depending on the purpose of the customer wanting to buy the car for use, consider making the appropriate decision.

5. Warranty period

Customers who buy used electric cars will still have a warranty. Most battery warranties will last for 8 years or 100,000 miles (160,934.4 km) after the initial purchase. This type of warranty can also change from one model year to another. However, not all warranties are transferable to subsequent owners. So car owners should note when buying used electric cars that even if they hand over the warranty and say they are covered, customers should not be subjective and must check again.

6. Test and test drive

When buying a used electric car, customers should test drive the car to experience the features. Listen to see if there are any strange noises or unusual vibrations. Check if the car's air conditioning system is still working well.
