What should I check before buying a used EV?

Focus on the battery first: get a battery health report if possible, compare current range to the original rating, and confirm remaining battery warranty by VIN. Check the charging port type and what charging cord or adapters come with it, test both Level 2 and fast charging if you can, and look up open recalls at nhtsa.gov/recalls. Ask for service records and check software updates. OffLot's Open lot mode gives you a phone checklist and questions to ask at the dealership.
