The Used EV Buyer's Guide: Battery Checks, Range Tests, and Smart Deals - The Missing PPI Checklist for Used Electric Vehicles (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798181650657)

The used electric vehicle (EV) market is exploding, but traditional pre-purchase inspections (PPI) are dangerously outdated. If you buy a used gas car, you check the transmission.

The Used EV Buyer's Guide is your definitive manual to avoiding multi-thousand-dollar battery replacement disasters.

Written by industry experts, this practical guide gives you a complete, data-driven inspection protocol you can run in just 30 minutes on any used EV.
