This Tesla still has an impressive 84 per cent of its original battery capacity, meaning the car can still cover around 250 miles on a single charge – enough to take care of most journeys, especially with the UK daily average distance people drive being around 25 miles.
A used EV with a 50kWh battery would cost just £3.45 to charge – and could go over 150 miles on that energy.
Tesla – like many other car makers – also continues to support older models through software updates, ensuring that even a used Tesla remains current with the latest tech advancements.
Provided you do your research and ensure the vehicle’s battery is in good health, buying a used EV is a smart and eco-friendly choice.
You also get to enjoy the lower running costs that come with EV ownership – electricity is much cheaper than petrol, especially if you can charge at home on a smart tariff.
