To find out the health status of the battery, buyers need to have the battery life and capacity checked along with the number of kilometers of the vehicle.
Warnings to buyers
Making statements about the increase in demand for second-hand electric cars, sector representative Yavuz Çiftçi gave warnings to buyers:
The indispensable criterion for electric cars is the battery condition. Manufacturers state that the battery life is on average 8-10 years.
The most valuable and costly component of electric cars is the batteries. Therefore, when buying a second-hand electric car, the priority should be the life of the batteries.
A cost calculation should be made based on the remaining life of the batteries and their usage status.
