Summer Deals on Electric Cars
Summer is here, and you can find some great deals on cars! While new cars are still pricey, used electric vehicles (EVs) might be your best bet right now. The $4,000 used EV tax credit is still available until September 30th, which means you could get an even better price on newer EVs. You might find great deals on EVs that have been leased recently, like the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Polestar 2, or many Tesla Model 3s.
What About High-Mileage EVs?
What if you find an EV with 100,000 miles or more? That’s becoming more common. The Plugged-In Podcast explores this question.
The Podcast Discusses:
- Battery Health: EV batteries are getting better. Studies show that higher-mileage EVs often have similar efficiency to newer ones and degrade less than in the past. They can still offer great range, even with over 100,000 miles.
- Long-Term Reliability: The battery isn’t the only thing to consider. The podcast discusses how the condition of other parts like suspension, brakes, and tires can be just as important. If these are in good shape, mileage might not be a major concern.
- Future EV Trucks: The podcast analyzes what will happen with an electric truck from Slate Auto once the tax credits end. Will it still be a good deal compared to other trucks?
- Traditional Automakers: The podcast also discusses the comments of Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe about traditional car companies being a big obstacle to the shift towards electric vehicles.
I’m Rohan Mehta, the voice behind KhelRe—a trusted and steadily growing blog dedicated to electric vehicles (EVs) in India. With over five years of experience as a tech and automotive blogger, I turned my frustrations with owning an EV into a mission: to help others make more intelligent choices in this fast-evolving world of electric mobility.
I’ve been an early adopter of EV technology—I repurchased my first electric scooter in 2019. That experience opened my eyes to both the promises and the pitfalls of this new mode of transport. From slow charging times and range anxiety to misleading specs and hidden costs, I’ve faced it all. But instead of walking away, I decided to write about it.
That’s how KhelRe was born—a no-nonsense, hands-on blog where I share practical, real-world reviews of EV cars, bikes, and scooters. I break down features, range, performance, and pricing from a user-first perspective. I take pride in simplifying complex tech into clear, valuable insights—offering tips, ownership stories, and advice you won’t find in flashy press releases or sales brochures.
Whether you’re a first-time EV buyer or just a curious auto enthusiast, my goal is to help you navigate the EV landscape with confidence. My motto: “EV knowledge should come from experience, not just brochures.”
When I’m not test-driving the latest e-scooter or comparing charging networks, you’ll probably find me tinkering with my garage EV setup, chatting with fellow enthusiasts online, or sipping chai while writing my next blog post from a cosy local café.
