A new study has revealed that nearly one in 85 used electric vehicles tested in the UK exhibited a significant cell-voltage imbalance, a potential indicator of battery degradation. Researchers examined battery health across a sample of second-hand EVs, highlighting concerns over long-term performance and safety in pre-owned electric cars. The findings suggest that buyers may face unexpected maintenance costs or reduced range if such issues go undetected. Experts recommend thorough pre-purchase inspections to assess battery condition before committing to a used EV.
