Used electric cars are experiencing a real boom. As NDR shows in a report, prices for many models have fallen while demand is rising. The key question for buyers: How healthy is the battery?

Experts explain that battery checks are now standardized and often reveal the actual capacity. Many used EVs are convincing even with high mileage – provided the battery has been maintained.
