15k to spend on an EV...recommendations?

rob316

Looking to spend approx 15k (cna stretch) on an ev. Looking for recommendations?

What is the mileage sweet spot something used for warranty purposes, I was thinking around 50-60km would give me a couple years warranty.

Thinking ID3, Niro, Kona/

What are your likes/dislikes?

Hatch/Saloon/SUV/Crossover?

ID3, eNiro or Kona will all be great cars, the ID3 will be the best "drivers" car out of them in my experience and all 3 can be got with the same 204bhp motor.

You could spend less with an Ioniq 28 kWh but the 3 above would have significantly more range as they are 64 kWh and try get the 77 kWh ID3 for max range in that.

I think a hatch, maybe a crossover, it;ll be replacing my wifes diesel focus. I like the look of the peugot e2008 also, 8 year battery warranty on 2020 up to 100km and I see examples for approx 15k with 50k up on it.

50kwh would be plenty battery size, it'll be mostly used around the city. I have my big dirty diesel for longer family journeys

8 year warranty is standard across the industry so your good there.

I’d take an eNiro or Kona over the 2008 personally if looking at crossover.
