By late October 2026, used electric vehicle checks by carVertical have nearly doubled since 2024 in Italy, but battery life continues to hold back buyers. Italian dealers lack the tools and expertise to assess battery health, while interest in these vehicles is growing. In early November, the steep depreciation of used electric cars is explained by uncertainty about the battery and rapid technological change, while demand is rising but supply is lacking. A CarVertical analysis confirms that battery condition remains buyers' main concern. On November 5, InsideEVs Italia reported that used electric cars are now selling for less than equivalent petrol models in Italy.
