Experience Instant Torque and Quiet Driving
Electric motors provide smooth, silent acceleration. Many drivers enjoy the refined and responsive nature of electric driving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are electric cars reliable?
Yes, used electric vehicles (EVs) are generally very reliable. Because EVs have fewer moving parts than traditional gas-powered vehicles, there’s less that can go wrong. Models like the Nissan Leaf, Tesla Model 3, and Chevrolet Bolt are known for long-term dependability when properly maintained.
What range loss can I expect in a used electric vehicle?
Most electric vehicles (EVs) lose approximately 2–3% of their battery capacity per year under normal usage conditions. For example, a three-year-old electric vehicle (EV) might retain 90–95% of its original range. At Valencia Auto Center, we offer battery health diagnostics to help you understand exactly how your vehicle performs.
Can I still qualify for federal tax incentives on a used electric car?
Yes. Depending on your income and the car’s eligibility, you may qualify for a federal clean vehicle tax credit of up to $4,000 on a used EV. We can help you understand the requirements and assist with paperwork.
What should I look for during a test drive?
Pay attention to how smoothly the EV accelerates and brakes, how the regenerative braking feels, and the comfort of the cabin. Also, ensure that the infotainment system is user-friendly and that the estimated range meets your needs. We’ll walk you through all key features and charging tips during your test drive.
How can I verify the history of a used electric vehicle?
