301 The Second-Hand Car Purchase Episode

In this episode, I’m digging into the fast-changing world of second-hand EVs and what really matters when you’re shopping used. I talk about the current price gap between electric and ICE cars, why battery health is the big question mark for many buyers, and how different buying routes — dealer, online, or private sale — each come with their own pros and cons. I also share my own experience buying a used Polestar 2 online, including why battery certificates, warranty length, and proper due diligence matter so much when you’re trying to avoid surprises later on. If you’re thinking about buying a used EV, this one is all about helping you make a smarter, more confident decision.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who’s considering their next EV.
