Electric Vehicle Owners Weigh Trade-In Decisions
WHY IT MATTERS
This development highlights the long-term durability and maintenance needs of electric vehicles, a crucial consideration for owners and potential buyers.
What happened
Some electric vehicle owners are considering trading in their vehicles after reaching significant mileage. A CleanTechnica writer is about to trade in their seven-year-old Tesla Model 3 for a Tesla Model Y, citing the car's high mileage as a reason.
The writer notes that the vehicle has exceeded 180,000 km, which may lead to expensive maintenance.
However, the article does not mention battery degradation as a concern.
