So you want to buy an EV, but the new ones are too pricy. So you want to go looking for a used one instead. Better read this article first.

As for me, I’ll stick with my 12-year-old Ford. One, I don’t trust EVs. And two, I enjoy upsetting Al Gore and Greta Thunberg.

A SMART person looking to launch a business would use a dynomometer to determine just how many kWH were left in an EV battery, after being in use. Charge, maybe, $100, and then run it under load for a couple of hours, until it craps out.

FTA -

“”As demand for second-hand electric vehicles climbs””

Demand??? Wishful thinking about future demand?

If some fool actually starts looking into used EVs, it will still be a second or third car, with a dependable ICE car that can be ‘charged’ and ‘recharged’ in 5 minutes. One can look under the hood, and under the car, of ICE cars and learn a great deal.

Me too, I have a 22 year old Ford Explorer I’ve owned for 9 years and I have no intention of getting rid of it and going EV.

I think in 2023, if there is an opportunity for a $200 fraud in ANYTHING, someone will be taking it. Fraud is becoming so prevalent in literally everything, and having it blossom and shine forth from the highest levels of government in effect blesses it.

Surprised that the computer can be “reset” to give false information.

You can experience battery fraud on a regular car, too. The big difference is it will cost you $100 to fix, not $8,000 to $10,000.

Anybody else seeing this Cloudfront problem when clicking the link? I'm getting blocked from more and more sites with Cloudfront. Is it my VPN?

Never buy a Nissan Leaf. Their batteries are air cooled. Terrible idea. If you want an EV get a new Tesla. The EV credits make them really affordable and the battery warranty is eight years. And if you live in a rural area you probably shouldn’t get an EV yet. I’m waiting for my shiny Cybertruck - unfortunately there are 900,000 reservations ahead of me.

Bottom line, the average consumer isn’t equipped to cope with growing ev industry fraud.

Simply by buying a used ev in the absence of nonexistent regulations the consumer is running a high risk of great financial loss. Loss potential: THOUSANDS of dollars.

Worse, there’s no way to quantify the degree of risk.

Conclusion:

Anyone who buys a used ev is a dumbass who both supports the fraudulent ‘climate emergency’ and the rampant, opportunistic fraud ironically & hypocritically engaged mostly by those on the left who support the industry.
