Although mass-market EVs are still relatively new to the market, they’ve been around for more than a decade now. The first Tesla Model S models launched for the 2012 model year, and the Chevy Bolt EV came out for 2017. That means that EVs with plenty of miles and many charging cycles are out in the used car market, and we’re finally seeing what happens to the most expensive components, the batteries, after living long lives. Because they are so expensive, they can be the scariest part of buying a used EV, since you don’t want to end up buying one with a worn-out battery in need of replacement. Polestar intends to assure its customers with a new addition to its certified pre-owned program.
