New vs Used EV: Is buying a used electric vehicle worth it?
User #1 2/20/2026
I'm debating between a new entry-level EV and a 2-3 year old premium EV for roughly the same price. Looking for community input.
**Option A: New MG4 Standard Range (~£27,000)**
- Brand new warranty
- Latest tech
- 218 mile range
- Basic spec
**Option B: Used 2023 Tesla Model 3 (~£28,000)**
- 30,000 miles
- Remaining warranty
- 305 mile range
- Premium features
**My concerns about used EVs:**
- Battery degradation — how much range loss is typical after 30k miles?
- Are there hidden costs?
- Software updates — do older models still get them?
What would you choose and why?
