You’ll find several reasons to consider an electric vehicle when shopping for a used model. While all EVs offer benefits, consider the following with a used vehicle:
Since electric vehicles are still somewhat new, they often come with a higher sticker price. A used electric vehicle can be much more affordable, especially for a first-time EV buyer. The initial depreciation that happens when you purchase a new vehicle is reflected in the price of the used model. You’ll discover that used EV models have excellent value and may even come with federal or state incentives.
Many people hesitate to buy a used vehicle because of concerns about repairs. Since EV models have fewer moving parts with no engine, you have fewer parts to worry about replacing. Statistics show that owners of electric vehicles spend less than half what people who drive a traditional gasoline vehicle have to pay.
EV models can receive over-the-air software updates, so you don’t have to worry about a used model being out of style or lacking certain technology features. The updates ensure the tech remains relevant and supported while also offering new tech and features. Many of the used models are comparable to the new vehicles when they stay up to date with new software. They also have fewer issues since most problems were resolved when these models were new.
As more EV models are introduced by the different brands, your choices continue to expand. You’ll find cars, SUVs, and even full-size trucks under the EV category. Luxury EV models provide even more features at a fraction of the cost of a brand-new vehicle.
Many EV models come with a warranty, which adds peace of mind when buying any used vehicle. The battery is covered by its own warranty, which alleviates the concern of buying an EV only to have the battery stop working. Modern batteries are designed to last for a long time, and most brands provide extensive coverage for this component. You can check out our Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) models and look for a CPO EV. These models have undergone a strict inspection process to ensure they are ready to be on the road.
You can talk to our finance team about buying a used EV or fill out our online application to get the process started. We’ll help you find the right EV and answer any questions you may have about these models.
