What To Look Out For When Buying A Used Electric Vehicle

The increasing amount of new electric cars entering the market means that there’s bound to be used electric vehicles in the secondhand market that shrewd buyers can take advantage of. This episode will give you some quick pointers on what to look out for if you’re looking to get a used electric vehicle.

But before that, in the news segment, we talk about lemon law in Malaysia and how we’re inching closer to it, MG’s latest EV, the MGS5 getting a five-star safety rating from the Euro NCAP, the launch of the 6th generation of Nissan Micra in Europe, as well as EV sales figures in Australia for the first quarter of the year.

In the discussion segment, we revisit EVs and modern cars’ relationship with cybersecurity and where they are today, as cars become more technologically sophisticated and advanced. Are these cars still prone to cyber attacks?
