Which used EVs are actually worth buying for the long haul? We analyse ten models to see which ones stand the test of time.

This video assesses ten used EVs currently available in the market, focusing specifically on battery health and overall durability. We highlight a high-mileage Tesla Model S that has covered over 690,000 kilometres to demonstrate that electric car longevity is a reality, provided the vehicle has been maintained correctly. We also look at the impact of fast charging and thermal management on long-term value.

We also provide a comparative perspective for those shopping in the EV Australia market, including the emergence of newer Chinese models. Our analysis strips away the marketing claims to examine the ownership reality, helping you decide which pre-owned vehicle fits your specific driving needs and budget. We break down the data to ensure you are not buying into a battery that is nearing the end of its service life.
