I'm new to the forum, and looking to buy a IMiev, one is for sale near to me, however despite being very knowledgeable with cars, I'm at a loss as what I need to look at with an electric car?
Sure, I can look for damage, loose connections, but what should I be looking at to ensure I'm not being ripped off, what can I check? How do I determine the condition of motor and batteries?
What's the lifespan of the components, how expensive is a set of batteries?
The car in question is a 2010 with only 9000 miles.
Thanks in advance for any info!

Forgot to add, I'm in the Uk, and wanting to use the car for work, aprox 3 miles away and local shopping/ town trips of 15 mile range.
