Electric cars: evolution, durability, and impact over time

While electric cars are multiplying, what about the older models? Are they obsolete or still holding up?

This series puts electric vehicles to the test of time, looking at both their evolution and the impact of the years on their lifespan. From the motor to the battery, including costs and CO2 emissions, it covers it all.

What should you consider when choosing a second-hand electric car? Will the battery still be viable after 5 years? Is the motor likely to fail? This episode provides tips to help navigate the still-new second-hand electric car market.
