You absolutely can get good used EVs for $25,000.00. That buys a 2022-2024 Kia Niro. You can get the 2019 model for even less, barely more than your ICE budget. 2023 Nissan Leafs are also around $15,000. All of these cars still have 70,000 miles and 5-9 years on their factory battery warranties.
- BeetleB 1y ago> You absolutely can get good used EVs for $25,000.00. You're missing my context: I'm not saying "good" by some objective standard, but in terms of my preferences for a car. When most people go car shopping, they have an idea of what attributes they want (leg room, cargo space, safety features, fuel efficiency, etc). What I was saying was that I can find many ICE cars at $15K that meet all my requirements, but none at $25K. I spent a lot of time pondering the Kia Niro, Chevy Bolt and Hyundai Kona - all deficient in some way or other. I realized that had they been regular ICE cars, I would not have wasted any time on them, and that I shouldn't get a car I wouldn't otherwise like just because it's an EV. They're totally good cars for some people, but not me. Ioniq 5 came really close, but lots of people have AC problems that they so far have not fixed. Simply not an option.
