📖  Do your research and learn as much as you can about the EV you’re interested in. Read the reviews, compare prices and learn the different features and benefits of each model.

 🙋🏻‍♂️ Read reviews of the seller before you buy the EV. 

✅ Verify history, use CARFAX  or equivalent that shows service history, any accidents, how many owners and clean title.

🔋Check the battery health, companies like Recurrent help provide battery health reports.

💵 Compare pricing- know what the vehicles are worth.

🤝 Be prepared to negotiate /compromise on price.

📝 Check warranty.

🔎  Ask for a FaceTime or walk-around video. 

🚘 Test drive the vehicle if possible.

🔧 Consider getting the vehicle inspected by a 3rd party before you buy it. You’ll know if it’s  in good condition with no hidden problems. 

✅ Check for recalls.

🔌 Check what charging equipment is provided.

🧾 Get it in writing. Include the price of the vehicle and the terms of payment. Keep a record of all communication with the seller, including emails, text messages, and receipts. This will help in case of any disputes or issues. 

🔎 Check Insurance options and costs for the EV you are interested in. Some insurance companies may offer discounts for EVs or have specific coverage options for electric vehicles. 

🚛 Arrange for Pick Up or Shipping. Get a shipping quote from multiple companies.  Prices can vary depending on the company and the distance. If the vehicle is located near you, and it’s a private seller, meet in a public location and bring someone with you if possible. 

💵 Pay for the EV.

😎 Transfer ownership. Once you get your EV, you’ll need to transfer ownership to your name. This is done by signing the title over to you and providing you with the registration information.
