As used EV’s hit the market in ever increasing numbers its safe to assume that sky high prices are a thing of the past. At the time of writing the cheapest Tesla Model 3 advertised on Autotrader currently sits under £10,000.
Given that these types of vehicles are now becoming more and more affordable its a good time to ask; if I spend less than £10,000 on a used EV, what could possibly go wrong?
Its fair to say that with less moving components than an their ICE counterparts generally EV’s have less potential points of failure therefore increasing their robustness as the odometer ticks upwards. Worn out clutches, noisy gearboxes and generally tired engines promise to be no problem for the high mileage EV buyer.
Used EV’s aren’t without issue however internally our stats reveal an increase in the amount of claims for defects unique to EV’s such as charging modules and most importantly users raising concerns over battery range.
