The supply on the used car market is growing rapidly, as many leased vehicles are currently coming onto the market in Vorarlberg. This is also having an impact on prices, which have been falling for several weeks.  

Thanks to the ever-increasing supply and a growing number of vehicles coming back after the first leasing period, used e-cars are currently available in Vorarlberg at particularly favorable prices. Industry experts see a great opportunity for those who want to switch to sustainable mobility but don't want to spend too much money on buying an e-car. "The market for used electric vehicles has developed rapidly in recent years," explains Rudi Lins, chairman of the Vorarlberg vehicle trade specialist group. More and more people are recognizing the advantages of electromobility. "With the growing supply of used vehicles, they are becoming even more accessible."

In his view, used electric cars offer a number of advantages: In addition to lower purchase prices, buyers would benefit from lower operating costs and government subsidies. In addition, the batteries of modern electric cars are more durable and more powerful than was the case a few years ago. "We are seeing a steady increase in demand for used electric cars, especially among young families and environmentally conscious consumers."
