Buying a used electric vehicle is a little different from buying an internal combustion engine car.

VANCOUVER — The supply-chain dam that held back new-car production during the pandemic seems to have burst — and the market is getting flooded with used cars, including sought-after electric vehicles.

New EVs can run from $45,000 to more than $100,000, notwithstanding federal and provincial incentives and rebates that subsidize up to $9,000 of a purchase price. Used buyers can find deals in the range of $25,000 to $35,000. “And of course, what are you going to do about charging, that’s the other big issue,” Porter added. Home charging is the most convenient option, but buyers who can’t do it need to know about the nearby charging infrastructure.

Check the battery’s health Investigate more than just what percentage a battery can still charge to, according to Thompson, because batteries degrade slowly. Purchasers will want to check the internal integrity of battery packs after checking their range. “There is a shelf life to most computers,” Thompson added. “So you want to check the health and speed of that computer, just like you would if you’re buying a used laptop from somebody.”
