If the main battery in an EV needs replacement, you can’t run down to the auto parts store and buy a new one. It’s important to have the battery and charging system inspected for damage, wear, and to get a feel for how much life is left.
Automakers tend to go heavy on cutting-edge tech and options that improve the electrified experience. The challenge is that tech ages, test out the infotainment, safety, and comfort features to make sure that you’ll be fine with how they work for years to come.
EVs have fewer moving parts and generally require less maintenance over time, but that doesn’t mean there can’t be issues as they age. Make sure the car hasn’t been wrecked, and have the mechanic check the brakes and suspension system for wear or damage.
