Top 10 Best Value Used Electric Cars! 

Thank Andy., great video. If the slightly slower DC charging isn't an issue, the Renault Zoe 52 kWh (with 50 kW DC charging) is also good value, now at just under £10k. Takes about 55 minutes 10'% to 80%. Real world range over 200 miles and good efficiency.

I love real world channels. Spot on. Common sense and not telling us what to buy.

My local dealer has just done two standard Model 3's in white with black interiors, both 100k miles, both tidy one owner cars on quality tyres. £13,995 and £12,995, both with 3 month dealer warranties (albeit just dropping out of Tesla bat warranty). Drove one and it felt perfectly screwed together: tight as a drum, not a rattle, squeak, creak or groan. Probably should have grabbed one, but one thing's for sure, prices aren't rising so I'm sure other deals will be along soon. Even so, incredible value.

The Hyundai Ioniq 28kWh and 38kWh are excellent cars to consider having very good efficiency, tech and the 5/8 year warranty. The only let down on the 38kWh is the slower DC charging speed.

No mention of the first gen MG ZS or MG5 for some reason, both now around £10,000-12000 2019-21 models.

just picked up a Dec 2020 m3 LR refresh 35kmi ... £23k. Brilliant bit of kit, such a good time to buy. Didn't realise the 2020 didn't have steering wheel heating like our old 22 RWD though. Thanks for the tips EV man!

Great list, Andy. Thank you very much. Best regards, Martin.

nice one andy e niro 4 spec great car fantastic ev what a great car i love mine just done 240 mile run and 60 left 6.2 m per kwh outstanding

I'd swap you my Corsa-e for a mangled paperclip right now tbh :) doing my head in!

Loved the Mac Master dig.

very good ,well delivered informative thanks

@13:13 2.5+5.5=7 😂 Left field one would be the eGolf. Not in anyway a great EV but people like that they are a normal car (whatever that means) they hold their value well and are easy to sell on when its time for it to find a new home.

Can you believe us members get first crack at these deals for only 99p/month! My only problem is that I'm happy with my two EVs and doubt I'll be in the market for another 5 years. By then, wow the deals. I'll pick up McMaster's Taycan for less than £20k!

Interesting topic for me right now. Prices down world-wide!

Great video. I have a 21 plate 64kWh Kona for work and it’s a brilliant car. We were recently at risk of redundancy and if I had of been made redundant I would happily of bought it if it was an option!

Just picked up a Seat Mii Electric 21 plate 8275 pls for £9900, virtually immaculate with 100 SOH on the battery. Getting 150+ miles from a charge, usually around 5mkWh. It'll do nicely until the market settles and the current wave of new models hits the s/h market next year.

I need an estate car for work so have been looking at the MG5. It seems to be cracking value atm.

I am surprised the jaguar I pace wasn't in the list , I looked and going at as good price for such a great car

I am constantly amazed at how the prices of 2nd hand EVs are going down as more and more of them come onto the market.

I was going to say the Citroen C4 which uses same platform as the corsa and is very comfortable inside. I have seen them advertised on autotrader for about £14K but when I just looked there were none there!

Don't assume that the cars still have warranty. That depends on whether the car's been serviced according to manufacturers recommendations. I checked with an online retailer before buying recently and the car I thought had 3 years warranty actually had a void warranty. That's why it was cheap

Thoughts about Jaguar I-pace? Tempted to buy one as my 1st ev car but horror stories holding me back

Ace video. I'm quite often asked about good EVs to get.

In Australia, the Tesla second-hand prices are still quite high. But some other EVs are very good buying. The dealers are, though, keeping the prices artificially high but they do not want to trade them.

Tesla Model 3 dual motor, best charging network, pretty much top in efficiency, best tech constantly being improved with new features, reliable and dirt cheap now.

Regarding the kona, they had a big recall on the battery, so if you want one, try to get one where the battery has been replaced. But ive heard of plenty people who have problems with the older kona where the drivetrain starts making noises and needs to be replaced.

I can’t speak for others, but my eNiro has been superb over the last two and a half years, costing less to run than my wife’s piccanto. It’ll be with us at least until the warranty ends and possibly longer. A great family EV.

Interesting choices which most can’t argue about. Love the Taycan dig.

The red 21 plate Tesla LR battery warranty is 120.000 miles. Its 100,000 miles for the standard range RWD Tesla's. 4 years on bumper to bumper or 50K miles, 5 yr warranty on the restraints systems and 8 yrs on HV Battery and drive motors.

Nice video Andy. I love the Honda e and would really like one as our 2nd EV.

there are also good deals on new EV's, the nissan leaf is currently on sale with a 46% discount, brand new N connecta for £17495, it's only the range that lets it down and of course charging speed

You missed what is the best of the cheaper bargains and that is the original Hyundai Ioniq. It is more efficient than any of the models that you quoted and has all the gizmos that you could ever wish for.

Interested in a used e-Niro or Kona, but in my experience full service history ones are few and far between, and this is needed for the warranty to be valid! Probably because they have a daft service interval of 10000 miles or 1 yr. In any case, I wouldn’t buy one out of warranty, the stories about the Gear Reduction Unit design flaws/failures could leave you with a very expensive bill.

Im going to keep hold of my petrol yaris for now, most reliable car i have ever owned, when it becomes expensive to repair or dies on me then i will be in the market for an ev, hopefully it's got a few years left in it at least. More time to save!

Sad that you didn’t mention the BMW i3, we love ours, quirky looks, good range and fun to drive.

Very surprised you didn’t mention Nissan Leaf! 62kwh going for pretty cheap! (And you started the channel because of the leaf as well).

Loved the dig at the Mc2@.

Also MG5 pre-facelift? Not the best looking or plushest of EVs but from what I see great value if you want a decent size family estate.

12:25 "but you can't really fault it for its practically" * as he reveals a person stuffed into the trunk * 🤣

Good prez. Didn't mention battery tec. That's critical for me, LFP only. So I can't see any alternative to the MG4: 15-17K GBP for 2023, .. or? Anyone else found better prices?

Would you recommend the ipace?

Amazing how Tesla can remotley dial in / order the part and give a day/ time slot for fitting all at the same time .. 1st class service .

Wot no ZE50 or Ioniq38? Both on my shortlist. I like the look of the ID3 but the comments about the older ones being flawed concern me. The other concern is all the ones near me at least, have done like 70k miles

Just waiting for Polestar 2 to drop a bit more!

Helpful thank you.

£15,500 for a MG4 is mad ! They probably would have only offered the original owner £13,500 for it. So glad I sold mine 6 months ago, I got £19,500 for it. Great driving car, let down by terrible software / dangerous driver aids and build quality issues ( the low rent interior you can accept for the price )

Hello Evm can you do a similar video on range from 250 to 350 miles range car and then what is the price difference and what your recommendation is

was thinking about buying a renault zoe, what do u think. is it a good car?

I'm for ev transport, the problem is the current batch just dont go far enough per charge. The chinese are now selling 1000km cars which is good BUT, that means todays cars are going to see further resale values.

I fancy a used ev but it seems to be difficult to really know the condition of the battery. At 4 years old most are now in reach price wise but I'm concerned that after keeping it 3 years or so it will be so close to the end of the 8 year warranty that I'll be left holding an unsaleable car.

What, you've soured on the Mii? I just got one for 11.4 with under 10000 miles. Getting better than 5 m/kwh, which is the crucial statistic for me, so it looks like a range approaching 200 for my standard Yorksnire miles.

Its tough you can grab a VW UP! GTi for 10k Looks like it would be a laugh. Where as you can also get a Up! Electric with what 150mile range for £5000 upwards Id be tempted to get as much gti spec bits to make a E-Up! GTe I know though currently if i have £10k spare it would go on the GTi

Yes the costs of used ev cars are dropping a fair bit which is great, but my worry is their reliability and cost of repairs. Where to have them serviced etc. I fancy a Corsa electric car but I’ve read so many stories online about various problems it makes me wonder if I should stick to ice cars.

How do you not include the Jaguar ipace on this list

Problem with the Enyaq is the slow charging speed

Citreon ec4x always goes missing but can guarantee this is the best ride out the lot of them

Good stuff.

How do you test the battery on an sh EV ?

What about the polestar

Cheers mate

I've seen 3 year old zoe's for less than 10k

Wish more honda EVs were here in Los Angeles!

If I could charge from home I would consider buying an electric vehicle even though I work nights, as I don't have access to off road parking, an electric vehicle is out of the question purely due to the lack of infrastructure in the area where I live, add that to the initial cost of buying an electric vehicle, the amount of technology, which I don't understand, and the fact that I can't pay for electricity with the kings currency as I do with diesel, it puts me off. Rather ironically, the first car you mentioned, the Corsa, really appeals to me, I've driven an electric Corsa and I really like it, it's not over the top with technology in the way of something like Tesla where everything is done on a screen, funny that you are allowed to use a screen in your car but not your phone, surely there's no difference, by the way I'm not condoning using a phone whilst driving, I also like the Honda E, it's quirky look and the squared looks of the Ioniq 5, the other issue I have is that you're still looking at paying over £10000, I bought my car 13 years ago and it's still going strong, should the infrastructure improve, I would consider an electric vehicle, the only other thing that puts me off is not being able to pay with cash, that is a huge issue for me

Very helpful and very enjoyable to watch. Saving my pennies and looking forward to buying an EV like my brother and neighbours who all swear by them.

Looking to swap mine in New Year so been looking at the used EV market and the Tesla, Kia EV6 and Ioniq 5 and 6 on the list. Some great choice now from the humble beginnings of my Leaf.

He he u are recommending the old Kona ev. The first gen1 kona was just such huge shit of a car. My 2019 modell had so many big faults and still the hyundai dealer made me pay huge service cost every 15k km. After waranty ends it will be a nightmare to keep this car running. Even to get new parts can take months. And dont forget to change liquid cooling for the battery every 60k km. That alone cost 1000 euro each time.

You featured the wrong Ioniq in my opinion... The OG Ioniq electric is generally overlooked but offers amazing value at £13k to £15k used, depending on spec and mileage. The "newer" version has a 38kWh battery and due to the crazy good efficiency gives a lot of the newer bigger battery cars a run for their money in terms of range. I'm seeing 200 real world miles out of mine at the moment, and I'm not particularly trying. That's nuts for a 38kWh battery!! The Ioniq 5 has some unique looks no doubt, but is nowhere near as efficient and about £7k to £8k more on the used market at the mo.

Jag i-Pace, luxury and power from £16k

Is anyone has experience with kias 7 year warranty??? 🤔🤨I heard they are not good at honouring it

In the UK if you are doing 10,000 miles a year with home charging of an EV you could be saving £1000 a year on your fuel bill plus no road tax, no ULEZ charges, Congestion charge exemption, ultra low servicing costs and not to mention doing the local air quality and climate as a whole a favour. If you’ve got a good reason to change your car - maybe there’s a good argument not to delay. And if you are going 2nd hand you’ll most likely be getting a more reliable EV with longer remaining warranty than comparable ICE car of the same mileage. After 2 years of having purchased privately my EV - Genesis GV60 RWD funded by a windfall ( I made some money from a famous computer games company I was at for 8 years in the form of a private pension), my personal advice at the moment is only to buy new if you’re wealthy or got access to a windfall the depreciation is just too high as the technology and competition is so fast moving. I recommend leasing for a while and see what’s important to you in an EV. A poor choice of EV for one’s situation can be a very costly mistake. With increasingly more green tabbed registration plates (BEV) on UK roads the average punter must be thinking how can all these people afford these new expensive electric vehicles?! A lot of the expensive EVs on the road at the moment in the UK are business tax benefit purchases, subsidised employee lease schemes, fleet vehicles , disability mobility funded and private lease. Pensioners are purchasing with retirement windfalls. £40-£60K on a new EV is a lot of money from anyone’s 9-5 salary!

Which cars do you think are better than the Model 3?

Your ID3 interior criticism is over the top. Sure it's a bit grey and plastic, but it feels superbly open and spacious. Personal preference. Sure, point out it's not to your liking. But describing it as low rent is totally unfair. They drive brilliantly as well, which you didn't mention.

Why do msnufacturers try to make it impossible to determine a battery's SOH, state of health? What are they afraid of?

Can't believe how cheap used cars are in the UK. If they didn't all have the steering wheel on the wrong side they would be flying out of the country!

MG EV 5 .... yes doesn't excite anyone externally or internally. However massive boot, long range, & dead cheap.

As the most environmentally conscious thing to do as a car owver is keep drive it for a good 10, 15 even 20yrs - I'm staggered to see such new used EVs getting resold. I would have thought the type of people who bought them cared about the environment and wouldn't be changing their cars so often. 🤔

The biggest problem with ev’s nowadays is insurance, teslas cost a grand even with full no claims, I’m looking at a Volvo xc40 single motor for £538

KIA 7 year warranty is rubbish. Bro in law has creaky suspension arms, 6 year old Kia. Under 7 year warranty. They won't replace them. Tesla did mine at almost 4 years. KIA have separate warranty lengths for separate parts. Look into it. It's a marketing trick very sadly :(

Where it's Renault Zoe?!

Biggest problem I have with used EV's is when the battery warranty runs out, the value will likely nose-dive, as they cost a lot to replace. I do like the ioniq 5 thought.

Hyundai is great

Hello mate

VW got help by Xpeng I believe

I’ll stick with my plug in hybrid for the moment. Best of both worlds.

EVs are depreciating as fast as consumer electronics: from sales price to zero in less than 10 years...

twice the price in the usa wtf honestly

Stellantis isn't doing that well

lol you have more of a life than me

TBH I’ve got a better list

Ha ha

Getting a brand new EV now you need to accept the depreciation. In 8 years time when the battery warranty expires an EV of today is going to seem like ancient technology. Look at how quickly iterations of the iPhone come out and what that means for the value of previous versions. Loss of battery warranty will negligibly impact on the value as it’ll be pretty much worth nothing. However if/when a replacement is required which could be quite a few years after the 8 year warranty expires batteries of similar capacity may well be a pittance as battery tech improves and new third party companies get into battery maintenance/repair/servicing for out of warranty EVs.

Really? You couldn't be bothered to mention the range, at least when new? Inexcusable.

VW sell cars in China very cheap

Never Korean

I'll stick my neck out and say the Honda E will most definitely not be a classic! I don't even like the way it looks let alone the lack of range. I actually don't think many EVs will ever be classics. We are sadly hitting the era of cars as appliances. A bit like very few people are enthusiastic about diesel electric trains. no romance like there is with steam.

Do u have kids

The conclusion is never buy new EV.

'Value' and 'used EV' do not belong in the same sentence, it is a ticking financial time bomb..... and will continue its ultra-rapid depreciation after you buy it secondhand.

Good content. Earlier this year I bought a MY20 Kia e Niro 4, it had quite high mileage, but had main dealer FSH, and the onboard diagnostics reported no errors and great battery health. I paid just a tad under 12K for it. I easily get over 260 miles. I needed something that I could charge up at home (London) and then do a round trip to Worcestershire to visit my parents who don’t have charging facilities. I can easily get there and back one charge and even have sufficient range to drive around a bit whilst there. Coming from a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (which is an _amazing_ car, and I still own it) my round trip costs have gone from over £50.00 to under £10.00. I agree that the Tesla is a better overall package - you just cant beat the SC network. IMO, unless you go really high end, most EV drivers _would_ buy a Tesla over anything else. The reason they don’t - like me - is that they can’t really afford it.. I often see it here in London, people buy a cheaper EV, and then bad mouth Tesla’s in an effort to justify why they didn’t get one. truth be told, a LOT more people would own a Tesla if they could… I certainly would. In the mean time, I’m content with my E Niro… but in the future, who knows?

So many great deals on EVs at the moment. My lease ends in June so I've been looking out for Model 3s (21 reg and newer) Set myself a budget of £25k however it looks like I wont need to spend any more than £22/23k for a SR+
