Can I buy a second-hand new energy vehicle?

There are two opinions on whether second-hand new energy vehicles can be bought by buyers. One is that new energy vehicles are still immature and the depreciation rate is very high. So now is a good time to sell, and it is worthwhile to spend a little money on high-end cars. The other is that the technology of new energy vehicles is updated quickly. For example, the battery of electric vehicles is seriously attenuated and may be halved in less than two years. Buying a second-hand car has no advantage and is not worth it.

There are two main reasons for the high depreciation rate of new energy used cars:

1, the new energy technology is fast, and most of the early vehicles are at the level of "engineering machine". In recent years, the cruising range of A-class EV models is generally 300 kilometers, so the new energy used cars sold in previous years are naturally not optimistic in the used car market because of the unbearable cruising range.

Although many new energy automobile companies promise consumers that the service life and warranty of their batteries can reach 10 years, considering the comprehensive factors such as the use environment, the consensus in the industry at present is that the average life of power batteries is 5 years, while from the use value of used cars, the general view in the industry is that the normal life of batteries in new energy vehicles is 3 years.

2. The attenuation evaluation of second-hand new energy power battery is not perfect. So far, a complete set of new energy used car detection methods has not been established, such as the attenuation degree of electric vehicle battery pack, and there is no unified standard or effective method in the industry. These hard reference standards are not given a reasonable evaluation by an impartial third party.

Is it true that second-hand new energy vehicles can't be bought?

In fact, the conditions for purchasing second-hand new energy vehicles are relatively low and the procedures are not complicated. More importantly, with the increasing demand for new energy vehicles, many places have begun to delay the issuance of new energy vehicle licenses, and the prices of second-hand new energy vehicles are also very attractive. There are many advantages of new energy vehicles, such as subsidies, beautiful models, richer configurations, more grounded cruising range and more diversified purchase methods. The disadvantage is that the price is higher.

Summary: If the price can accept the best new car, if it can't accept the second-hand car, you can choose some big brands when choosing the second-hand car, and the second-hand platform should also choose formal procedures. In short, be careful when buying second-hand new energy vehicles. After all, there are still many imperfections.
