Get Behind the Wheel of a Battery Car For Sale

EVs are the greenest cars on the road today, but they also offer the best driving experience around. Plug in while you work or at one of the fast-growing network of charging stations and enjoy faster acceleration, more range, and a quieter ride.

These battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) have no gasoline engine and produce zero tailpipe emissions. The battery powers electric motors that drive the wheels, and regenerative braking turns the car’s motion into electricity to extend the car’s range.

When you’re done driving an EV, the battery gets recycled at a VW plant to make new batteries and other demanding products. The old batteries are shredded, dried, and sieved to recover materials like nickel, cobalt salts, and copper that can be reassembled into new batteries.

Battery Car for Sale: Powering Up Your Commute

Battery-only electric vehicles are the most common EVs, but other models offer more variety. For example, the all-wheel-drive Porsche Mission E offers more than 500 horsepower from a twin-motor setup, and the Fisker Ocean is available in four trim levels that start at a smidge over $40,000.

Battery cars use a proven technology with a much longer life expectancy than lithium-ion phone batteries, which begin to lose their capacity after hundreds of full charges and discharges. Many EV manufacturers, such as Nissan and Tesla, provide an eight-year, 100,000-mile battery warranty to give shoppers peace of mind. That’s well beyond the bumper-to-bumper coverage offered on traditional vehicles.
