Check high-voltage battery health via dealer diagnostics or specialized EV tools; avoid cars with unexplained range loss or repeated HV errors in the history.
Inspect underbody and battery protection plates for damage, especially on imports from the USA that may have been in accidents or scraped on rough roads.
Review service records for software updates, recalls and regular maintenance, including brake fluid changes and cabin filter replacements for the HVAC/heat pump.
Test DC fast charging at least once before purchase if possible to confirm stable charging speed and no errors at public chargers.
For Ukrainian winters, prioritize cars with heat pump, heated seats and steering wheel; these options significantly improve comfort and reduce winter range loss.
Compare total cost of ownership for Ukraine vs USA imports: include customs, VAT, certification, transport, and potential battery or body repairs on salvage vehicles.
Prefer cars with intact original airbag system and undamaged HV components; complex accident repairs on EVs can be difficult to assess and more risky long term.
