There is far less to go wrong than on a petrol car: no engine, no gearbox, no exhaust, and brakes that do a fraction of the work because the motor does most of the slowing. That shifts the whole inspection onto three things — the high-voltage battery and its charging history, the software, and the tyres, which wear quickly under this much weight and torque. All three are covered in the CarSwitch report on the individual car, and the electrical pages are the ones to read before you make an offer. Charging is straightforward if you can plug in at home or at work, and the public network is strongest in Riyadh, Jeddah and the Eastern Province, so a long run between cities is a matter of planning the stops rather than avoiding the trip.
