Interested in an electric car, but finding current prices are a bit too high for your budget? Worry not, as the second-hand EV market is well garnished with a wide variety of appealing zero emission alternatives.
But while it’s true that an electric vehicle requires less maintenance than a gasoline one, resulting in second-hand models that are in great mechanical shape, consumers must stay on the lookout for a rapidly spreading problem in the second-hand EV market: battery fraud.

As for me, I’ll stick with my 12-year-old Ford. One, I don’t trust EVs. And two, I enjoy upsetting Al Gore and Greta Thunberg.
You’re a planet killer.
A SMART person looking to launch a business would use a dynomometer to determine just how many kWH were left in an EV battery, after being in use. Charge, maybe, $100, and then run it under load for a couple of hours, until it craps out.
How dare youuuuuuu!
Do you need a dynamometer or merely a simple multimeter and a resistive load under which to test?
Hook it up to your house and thus The Grid.
“Do you need a dynamometer or merely a simple multimeter and a resistive load under which to test?”
They could probably fake that test...best to test in exactly the way that counts.
I was driving somewhere tonight and saw a 2014 leaf on a dealer lot for 2,999.
it is tempting. but I instead am spending that $ on my e32 735i
it’s pretty sad that gop aren’t sounding the alarms frequently in congress about the damage and idiotic nonsense driven by the electric mafia
FTA -
“”As demand for second-hand electric vehicles climbs””
Demand??? Wishful thinking about future demand?
If some fool actually starts looking into used EVs, it will still be a second or third car, with a dependable ICE car that can be ‘charged’ and ‘recharged’ in 5 minutes. One can look under the hood, and under the car, of ICE cars and learn a great deal.
Do the idiots who still vote for democrats, that are poor, living in vans, RVs or their cars know the democrats are going to destroy them?
Probably not. They probably believe uncle Joe will give them all new electric cars and RVs and a full electric hookup with which to charge. I was just driving El Camino in Silicon Valley. There are miles and miles of RVs and vans.
they are either blinded by the Evil one, or just ignorant of the real liberal agenda-
I think it was flooded, wouldn’t start. Then it evaporated the extra liquid and warmed up. A nice clean one owner. 🙄😛
Me too, I have a 22 year old Ford Explorer I’ve owned for 9 years and I have no intention of getting rid of it and going EV.
I think in 2023, if there is an opportunity for a $200 fraud in ANYTHING, someone will be taking it. Fraud is becoming so prevalent in literally everything, and having it blossom and shine forth from the highest levels of government in effect blesses it.
Surprised that the computer can be “reset” to give false information.
You can experience battery fraud on a regular car, too. The big difference is it will cost you $100 to fix, not $8,000 to $10,000.
Isn’t that the truth? Nary a peep out of any of them about the whole green fraud and the impossibility of it working.
