As the global energy crisis and rising petrol prices continue to squeeze household budgets, Australians are turning to second-hand electric vehicles (EVs) in droves. According to a report, sales of pre-owned EVs have more than doubled in recent months, with many drivers seeking to avoid the financial shock of soaring petrol costs. With the average price of petrol reaching record highs, the appeal of EVs, which can save drivers up to 70% on fuel costs, has become increasingly attractive. As the nation's EV market continues to grow, experts are warning that the surge in second-hand EV sales could lead to a shortage of affordable options for those looking to make the switch.
