Used electric vehicle sales reached a record 3.3% of total used-vehicle sales last month, up from 2.9% in August, according to Cox Automotive data cited by Electrek.

Electrek attributes the pace of used-EV sales to a flood of electric cars returning from lease this year combined with rising gas prices.

Low-mileage used EVs, including the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and Ford Mustang Mach-E, are selling on the secondhand market for $25,000 or less, according to Electrek.

Edmunds, which has tested nearly all of them, compiled a list of four top used electric SUVs available for under $25,000, according to Electrek.

Rep. Greg Landsman introduced H.R. 10881 on October 22, according to Electrek.

The measure, named the 21st Century Vehicle Choice Act, would offer federal tax credits of up to $15,000 for a new electric vehicle and $8,000 for a used electric vehicle, Electrek reported.

The bill would make both the new and used electric-vehicle credits permanent, according to Electrek.

BP Pulse has stepped back from fleet charging, and two firms will now take over support for its departing UK customers. Fuuse and Drax Electric Vehicles will manage the migration of almost 1,000 former BP Pulse fleet charging customers, spanning more than 14,000 charging sockets, according to electrive.

The move traces back to BP Pulse's July 2025 decision to leave the workplace charging market and concentrate on charging hubs and its rapid charging network, electrive reported.

Under the handover, Fuuse takes the lead on moving customers to its charging management platform, electrive reported, while Drax Electric Vehicles handles nationwide maintenance and service, including continuity of existing hardware warranties.

Fuuse and Drax Electric Vehicles say the arrangement lets fleets keep their installed charging hardware rather than replace it, according to electrive.
