End of Year Used EV Car Sales Are On
eTradeWire News/10791068
Check out our tips on how to buy a used EV and how to insure it without breaking the bank. A used EV is a great alternative to buying a brand-new EV which may cost around 40K if not more! Plus, more on tax rebates.
LOS ANGELES - eTradeWire -- Let's face it, electric vehicles (EVs) are expensive. Even people who can afford to buy a new one often end up buying a used EV because car depreciation on a brand-new car is very high. The average new electrical vehicle costs about $48,000.(6) It will lose more than 10% of its value as soon as you leave the dealership, more than a gas-powered vehicle. The average used electric vehicle in 2024 cost about $27,000, according to iSeeCars.com.
Buying a used electric vehicle (EV) is more cost effective, and the only difference between buying a used gas or electric car is the amount of attention you should pay to an EV battery, which can be costly to replace. Also, the myth about EVs costing more to insure may not apply for your used EV.
