Used Electric Vehicles: Pros & Cons for Pre-owned EV Buyers | Coast-to-Coast EVs 26

/ October 24, 2024

From Plug and Play EV.

Join the Coast-to-Coast EVs team to unpack the increasing importance of used electric vehicles to the volatile EV market in North America.

With depreciation a major factor in EV purchases and leasing a popular option to protect against outdated tech, finding great deals on pre-owned electric vehicles is becoming much more common.

We explore the current market and explain why the years to come promise to be even more fruitful for buyers who prefer pre-owned vehicles. Could these excellent deals on highly capable EVs be the key to unlocking wider adoption at all levels of affordability?

Returning guest Darren Orange helps us unpack these topics and walk us through his experience moving from a Chevy Bolt EV to a pre-owned Tesla Model 3 (early ownership video here: https://youtu.be/bAREs8-YnAc?si=NUKoIBUhjlaBwGoT)
