Experts find that the remaining battery capacity of second‑hand electric vehicles can differ wildly, even among models that look similar on the surface.

The report warns buyers to look beyond the sticker price and request detailed battery diagnostics before making a purchase, as a seemingly affordable used car could still be short on range and require costly repairs.
