What to think about when buying a used electric vehicle?

Battery

First, take time to check the size of the lithium-ion battery. The larger the capacity, the more substantial the range will be. Aim for a battery equal to or greater than 77.0 kWh.

Warranty

Ask the dealer about the warranty on the electric powertrain and, more importantly, on the battery. It is often 8 years or 160,000 km.

Recalls

Find out whether there have been multiple recalls on the vehicle since it arrived on the market.

Brakes

Inspect the brakes to assess their condition. Ask the dealer about this.

Charging port

The charging port is also very important. Can you plug your vehicle into a fast-charging station, for example? If so, how many kW? Is a home charging station also possible with your vehicle? Ask the right questions and check whether you are eligible for a rebate for installing a home charging station.

Vehicle generation

Finally, find out about the vehicle’s generation, that is, when the latest generation appeared.
