Is It worth getting a used electric car now?

By driving a used electric car, you can benefit the environment and save yourself a couple of quid at the same time. Not only will you be cutting your weekly fuel costs and annual road tax fee, but in some cases, you can even enjoy free parking.

Of course, these benefits are the same for a new electric car. The difference is that our used electric cars for sale provide a more affordable way to make the switch, with lower asking prices than brand new models.

Rest assured, you'll still be getting great value for money with a quality car. All of our second hand electric cars undergo extensive checks, including full HPI checks, to ensure they are up to standard.

What is a second hand electric car-like to drive?

With no gear box or manual transmission, our used electric cars for sale offer a much smoother and quieter ride.

Instead of pulling up at a petrol station to refuel, you'll also just plug your second hand electric car into a charging point to get your vehicle road-ready. This can be done at home with an installable charging point or while you're on the road at a public station.

The best part? You can go and grab a coffee from the service station in the average time it takes your used electric car to charge back up to 80%. Usually, the range of an electric car is between 100 and 400 miles on one full charge.

What should I look for when buying a used electric car?

When you're browsing our range of second hand electric cars for sale, there are a couple of things that you should look out for.

• Your first consideration should be range. Do you want to buy a used electric car for long haul road trips or is it just to tackle the daily commutes? Knowing how many miles, on average, you'll rack up will help you pick the used electric vehicle with the most suitable range.
• You'll also need to think about the age of a used electric car. Lithium-ion batteries typically have a lifespan of up to 10 years before needing to be replaced, so it's always important to check how many years the EV has got left in the tank.
• Finally, it's always a good idea to check the safety rating of any second hand electric car for sale. The Euro NCAP safety test features rigorous assessments to determine how well vehicles perform in certain crash scenarios, and results are published to allow you access to the full safety report. This will give you peace of mind that your used electric car is capable of protecting you and your passengers on every journey.
