Facilitating a sustainable world is a global responsibility  to ensure the availability of natural resources for future generations. Simultaneously, one cannot overlook the importance of vehicles to commute effortlessly from one place to another. Electric vehicles (EVs) are powered by an electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine. Consequently, these vehicles do not emit harmful gasses. So, here are some tips to get the best deals on electric cars this Black Friday 2023:

Check the battery size
The most essential aspect to check while selecting an electric car is its battery size. Although the average capacity of a lithium-ion battery is 40kWh, many batteries these days have capacities of up to 100 kWh.

The more the battery capacity of an electric car, the longer are the periods between each battery recharge.

Check the charging time and stations
The next most important aspect to check in electric cars is the charging time. If the car takes too long to charge, the charging process may be time-consuming, especially if one has to drive to a certain destination urgently. Thus, while looking for electric cars this Black Friday, the best bet is to opt for electric cars that can be charged quickly and easily. Make sure the charging stations are accessible too. 

Understand the levels of charging
It is crucial to understand the various levels of charging an electric car before buying it.

Level-one charging is best suited for short drives of up to a few miles, i.e., for local commutes, and may require charging if one drives even a few extra miles. Level-two charging involves a 240-volt connection to charge EVs. The charging process is quicker in level two compared to level one, and the battery level lasts longer. A level-two charging station may be found in public places and some offices and may even be set up at home. Finally, level-three charging is the fastest type of charging for electric cars and can last hundreds of miles. Thus, while buying an electric car, it is important to check the charging speed for each of these levels.

Check out different brands and offers
An evaluation of the different brands offering Black Friday offers on electric cars is essential before shortlisting a deal. Such an analysis helps one gauge the distinct features of each brand and the electric cars they offer. It also helps compare the original prices of each and the discounts offered. Thorough research is among the cornerstones of shortlisting the best Black Friday deals on electric cars.

Understand the different purchase options
While looking for Black Friday offers on electric cars, one may come across deals directly from brands as well as dealers selling pre-owned electric cars. One can check out the deals by them and opt for the best option after an evaluation of various factors. Although price and discounts are significant determinants, one should not overlook the importance of checking the condition of the car if it is a pre-owned one. The car’s vehicle identification number and history should also be checked.

Inquire about the driving range
The ideal driving range for regular electric vehicles for daily use is 100km. Sports and other high-end electric cars may have ranges of up to 400km. Thus, one should inquire about the electric car’s range with the dealer and check online reviews to confirm the range.

Check out tax benefits
Electric vehicle buyers may enjoy federal tax credits. Specifically, they may qualify for EV tax credits of $2,500 to $7,500. Such savings, in addition to Black Friday deals, can help one save a considerable amount and get the best deal on an electric car. Hence, it is important for buyers to check out all the available tax benefits on electric cars before buying them.

Know the importance of EV software updates
EV software updates are essential to ensure that electric cars have the latest software technology. EV software updates can increase the vehicle’s range and serve a host of other functions. Hence, it is important to understand the process of updating an EV’s software system before buying an electric car.

Check the reliability of the car dealer
Black Friday and other shopping seasons have no dearth of deals and offers by several dealers. Hence, it is all the more a reason to ensure that the dealer is reliable and genuine. Buyers should check online reviews of the car dealer and consult family members and friends to verify the dealer’s genuineness.

Black Friday is the perfect time to look for the best deals on electronic cars and ensure sustainability while not compromising on luxury and comfort. Moreover, the prices of electronic vehicles have currently hit impressive lows and may probably be offered at even more competitive prices during the sale season. Researching the different options available, understanding battery levels and other specifications of EVs, and checking the dealer’s background, etc. can help one buy an electric vehicle at significantly discounted prices on Black Friday 2023.
