New and Used Electric Vehicles for Sale
When you’re looking for an electric vehicle for sale, you don’t have to look far. New and used electric vehicles are flooding the market, and while sales of EVs have flattened out from their record-setting boom in 2023, they’re still growing. EV buyers are typically richer, younger, and more likely to live in urban areas, but as the supply of EVs expands, it will reach the mainstream.
With fewer moving parts, EVs require less maintenance than gas-powered cars. They also use fewer fluids and experience lower brake wear from regenerative braking. In addition, EVs can be powered by electricity rather than gasoline, making them more cost-effective to operate.

As a result, EV owners tend to trade them in for more current models, boosting the availability of preowned EVs. New and used EVs often qualify for both the IRA tax credit and NYS Drive Clean Rebate, reducing their prices even further.
Choosing the right preowned EV depends on your needs and driving habits. For example, many EV drivers in New York City prioritize a short-range model that can handle daily commutes and high occupancy vehicle lanes. Others may be willing to pay top dollar for a long-range EV that can go 400 miles on a single charge — if they have access to public charging stations or a Level 2 home charger at their expense.
Whatever your budget, it’s important to check out a used EV’s battery warranty before purchasing. Most manufacturers offer eight-year, 100,000-mile warranties for their lithium batteries. You can also get a free Vehicle History Report from your preferred dealership or third-party provider that will reveal past inspections, maintenance, accidents, and more.
