Why Buy an EV?
Although it seems like a rather large commitment to purchase a new electric vehicle, a used EV may be more manageable if you are on a tight budget. One of the immediate advantages of buying an EV is the money you save on fuel costs. Moreover, you will also save money on maintenance costs, since an EV doesn't have a traditional drivetrain. There are far fewer components in an electric motor than with a gas or diesel engine. Consider:
- No engine cooling system is needed.
- No spark plugs.
- No oil or oil filters.
- No fuel pump.
- And more.
Although EVs often have a higher purchase price than traditional vehicles, you will save money on maintenance, care, and fuel costs. Every day, infrastructure on EV vehicles is improving and more charging stations are being added to the charger networks.
Why Buy a Used EV?
When you see some of the benefits of EVs but are still a bit anxious about making a big investment, a used EV may be your solution. When you purchase a used electric vehicle, it comes with a lower sticker price. Unlike a traditional vehicle that depreciates rapidly, the older it gets, EVs tend to have a reduced depreciation. Many of these vehicles may still qualify for new-vehicle financing, which leads to longer terms and the best rates.
When you buy a new electric vehicle, their values depreciate when you first drive them off the lot. When you buy a used vehicle, the pre-owned vehicle price already indicates the loss in value. When you figure in federal, state, and potentially local incentives, your used EV price may drop more still.
If you have concerns regarding the current versions of the advanced technologies found on EV models, know that most EV software can be updated over-the-air to ensure that it is current. If you have concerns about any recalls, it's probably safe to assume that they have been taken care of prior to being sold as a pre-owned vehicle.
Breathe Easy
If you are shopping for a used EV, you may be worried about battery life. Rest assured that there are several models that offer a lengthy warranty for the battery, with many extended by as much as ten years. When you get a used model that is within the age limits and mileage, you may find that your vehicle still falls within the original manufacturer's warranty coverage. When we receive a used EV at Skagit Hyundai, our Service Team will inspect the vehicle thoroughly to ensure that these vehicles are ready for the road before they are placed on the lot for sale. To get greater peace of mind you can even tack on an extended warranty.
