Used electric cars: should you buy one?
There's plenty to bear in mind if you're thinking of buying a used electric vehicle - these are our top tips…
Electric cars aren't new, but their long-awaited surge in popularity is here, with just over 141,000 EVs registered by October in 2021. That's an increase of 86 per cent on the previous year. Shifting market trends means sales of alternatively fuelled vehicles (AFVs) have surpassed all previous records, and more second-hand electric cars are now available on the used market as a result.
It's easy to see why so many motorists are making the switch. Lower taxation, grants and cheaper running costs for EVs look appealing next to the rising cost of diesel and petrol car ownership, combined with the introduction of 'clean air zones'.

GO GREEN! WAIT! NOT IN MY BACK YARD!
In recent years, proponents have aggressively pushed clean energy alternatives as part of their broader goal to reach net-zero emissions and transition away from fossil fuel energy in the U.S. and abroad. But wind turbines, solar farms, hydropower projects and critical mineral production — all key parts of the clean energy push — have all faced resistance in the form of environmental lawsuits, legal petitions and local movements.
WE NEED MORE WIND GENERATED ENERGY! WAIT! NO MURDER BLADES!
WE NEED MORE SOLAR GENERATED ENERGY! WAIT! NO CUTTING DOWN TREES OR USING FARMLAND TO DO IT!
WE NEED MORE HYDRO POWER! WAIT! NO KILLING OUR FOREST, WILDLIFE OR GENERATING POLUTION TO DO IT!
WE NEED MORE ELECTRIC CARS AND THINGIES! WAIT! NO DESTROYING MOTHER EARTH TO DO IT!
Now what?

In the UK, and the ones on that list? Maybe not long as they are almost all low range conversion compliance cars. 100 mile range sucks, in the UK.
Here in the states? Longer unless they are trading up. Right now you can find used Model 3s all over as folks are trading up to the Model Ys.
Will worn-out batteries send Tesla to the scrapheap? It's complicated
Older electric vehicles can't run for as far on a single charge as newer cars. But where older smartphones may struggle to hold a charge, EVs aren't quite the same.
U.S. awards $2.8 billion for EV battery, grid projects
Summary by Ground NewsThe Biden administration will announce on Wednesday it is awarding $2.8 billion in grants for projects to boost U.S. manufacturing of electric vehicle batteries and domestic mineral production. The 20 manufacturing and processing companies will use funds to develop enough battery-grade lithium, graphite and nickel. A senior administration official said the funding will lead to 8,000 new jobs. Biden has called for half of all vehicles to be electric by 2030.
