What Factors Affect the Price of a Used Electric Vehicle

As with a thermal imager, factors that affect the price of a used electric vehicle are model, year, and mileage. Another factor that should affect the price: current autonomy out of the car. Indeed, in various advertisements you will find the autonomy of the car, but this figure corresponds to a new car. 

When buying a used electric vehicle, keep in mind that battery performance decreases over time and mileage. In a few years and tens of thousands of kilometers, the mileage and power of the electric vehicle will decrease, and the recharge time will increase. To make matters worse, badly worn batteries can pose a significant risk of thermal runaway. In this case BMS breaks car to protect users, but software failure may cause an accident.

Therefore, if you are looking to buy a used electric vehicle, it is important to check the condition of its battery, in particular:

• SOH (health status) measurement : This is a percentage of the aging of the battery. The new electric vehicle has a SOH of 100%.
• Theoretical autonomy : This is an estimate of the vehicle's mileage based on battery wear, outside temperature and type of trip (urban, highway and mixed).

At La Belle Batterie we offer battery certificate reliable and independent, which allows you to get this information. You can ask sellers to diagnose before buying an electric vehicle and then buy confidently.
