Electric cars are no longer the novelty they once were. In fact, they have been around long enough, and proven popular enough, that we’re starting to see a growing number of used electric cars here at Superior Mazda. Their advantages might surprise you.

Used EVs Cost Less

While it’s true that a used EV doesn’t qualify for federal tax credits, their lower cost offsets this. Like any used car, you’ll see a significant savings over a new model. This is especially apparent in models’ higher trim levels, where you’re getting advanced technology at a significant savings over new car prices.

Used EVs Have a Low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership)

Did you know that EVs keep saving you money? Compared to gas-powered vehicles, their lifetime costs tend to be lower.

  • A lower sticker price means less money paid for used car financing
  • The lack of a gasoline engine means trips to the pump are a thing of the past
  • Mechanical simplicity means better reliability, plus simpler and less-expensive maintenance
  • Advanced safety features and a lower sticker price generally lead to lower insurance costs
  • Even vehicle registration tends to be lower for used cars

Used Electric Vehicles Feel Great

Because of the way most EVs distribute their weight, they have a low center of gravity and a more composed ride. Their lower carbon footprint feels good, too!

But Wait

You may be wondering if used electric vehicles have any drawbacks. Because they’re newer, our selection isn’t quite as diverse as it is for gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid vehicles. That said, we’re gradually getting there.
