The Expert Podcast

• Understanding EV Batteries
  • The most valuable component of an electric vehicle (EV) is its storage battery.
  • Unlike traditional gasoline vehicle batteries, EV batteries are large, flat, and often a structural part of the car.
• Why EV Battery Condition Matters
  • The battery’s health is the most crucial factor when buying a used EV.
  • More important than checking tires, shocks, or brakes.
  • The electric motors in EVs last longer than gasoline engines because they don’t have combustion or moving reciprocal parts.
• Battery Wear and Testing
  • EV batteries go through charge and discharge cycles, leading to wear over time.
  • Always test the battery before purchasing a used EV.
  • Use a reputable third party for testing rather than relying on the dealer.
  • Check for warranty options that may be available based on battery condition.
