From Transport Evolved.
While we – and many other channels – end up covering an inordinate amount of new electric vehicles coming to market, the reality is that the majority of people who are looking to go electric will end up buying a used one.
But how do you know that you’re used, EV will be fine when it runs out of its factory warranty?
Here’s some tips and tricks we’ve collected over the years to keep you confident, educated, informed, and ready for when things aren’t going as smoothly as you might like.
