A new study reported by The Guardian finds that used electric cars with high mileage are more reliable than comparable petrol vehicles, challenging a common assumption that EV batteries and motors wear out faster. The findings are being widely shared among drivers and environmental commentators, with many saying they strengthen the case for buying second-hand electric cars over combustion-engine models.
Why now: New research contradicting doubts about used EV reliability is prompting debate among drivers and green transport advocates.
