Your next electric car, hassle-free
Buying a new electric can be pricey. But a used one is a different story. Here you'll find used electric cars at prices that actually make sense.
What nobody tells you about used electric cars
The million-pound question: how's the battery? That's the first thing to check. Always ask for the battery State of Health (SOH) report from a franchised dealer or a recognised battery health check, and compare it with the terms of the manufacturer's battery warranty. And don't be scared of the mileage: an EV with 100,000 miles has suffered far less mechanical wear than a diesel with the same.
Electric cars have paid road tax since April 2025: £200 a year at the standard rate if first registered from April 2017, or £20 (band A) if registered 2001–2017. So the saving is in running costs: about £2.20 per 100 miles on a smart overnight EV tariff, or about £7.50 at the Ofgem-capped home rate. Just make sure you have somewhere to charge — at home, at work, or at least a public charger nearby.
An electric car has no clutch pedal and counts as an automatic for the driving test. Browse used automatic cars for sale to see only the automatics, with the different kinds of automatic gearbox explained.
