Buying a used electric vehicle (EV) can be a daunting task. Not only do you have to consider the usual questions about a used car, such as its condition and reliability, but you also have to consider the state of the battery and how much range you can expect. To help car shoppers answer these questions, Recurrent Reports has developed a comprehensive system to provide detailed information about each EV.
Recurrent Reports provides an estimated range today and in the future by analyzing vehicle history, VIN-specific insights about the battery, and data from some 40 million real-world EV trips. Each report includes a value called Range Score that compares current expected range with the car’s range when new. For example, a Range Score of 97 means that the vehicle should still achieve 97% of its original range.
Recurrent’s dealership partners can take the Recurrent Report one step further through a Range Verification process. Once a vehicle has been physically inspected, a “Range Verified” label will be displayed on the Recurrent Report. Dealerships can use this information to assess EVs offered for trade-in.
Recurrent has also expanded its coverage to include “most dealerships and over 65,000 used cars nationwide” and launched a tax credit eligibility tool. This tool will analyze the model year, price, battery size, seller and sale history to predict if it is eligible for a used EV tax credit.
In short, Recurrent Reports is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to buy a used EV. With its detailed information about each vehicle, its range verification process, and its tax credit eligibility tool, Recurrent Reports makes it easier than ever to find the perfect used EV.
