Hi all,
We bought a house in Viborg, Denmark 65 km from my workplace in Aarhus so I will have to drive at least 130 km 4-5 times a week. Average speed will be 80km/h. There is no high way. Total km per year will be 35-40k.
Today we bike or use public transport but it will not be possible after we move. My girlfriend work most of the days at home and can commute with a coworker.
After work we would only use the car for shopping or visiting family and friends, max 10 km extra. I would prefer to charge at home +95% because of the price at charging stations and we have solar roof.
We would very rarely need to go more than 250 km per day. Maybe 2-3 times a year.
Top priority is price and longevity. We would like to have the car for 5-10 years.
ZOE 40 kWh

What do you think is the best fit for us? Do we overlook any pro/cons?
We will get the keys to the house 15 Oct so we have some time to find a good car.

Pro:
- Price, cheapest one sale is 165k DKK (€22k), driven 17k km, 2 years old. Battery included in the price.
- Larger battery: Winter range around 222 km (18,0 kWh/100km)
- SOH around 90% after 100k km.
- App with remote control of charging.
- Less efficient.
- Slow "fast" charging, 22kW. Most of the cars sold are R90, only few Q90 with faster charging in Denmark.
Pro:
- Low consumption. I have calculated that we can save around 3k DKK per year on our electricity bill.
- CCS charging
- Adaptive cruise control
- More trunk space
- Maybe it is possible to get a trailer hitch but not sure if it is legal in Denmark.
- Range anxiety in winter. I read some online reports of around 150 km range in the winter.
- I am not sure about the battery SOH after 100k km. This is one of my main concerns. I think that I will need at least 23kWh to get to/from work without charging at winter.
- Price more expensive. Cheapest on sale is 175k DKK (€23,5k) that has driven 50k km, 3 years old.
- no app
- New IONIQ 38kWh costs 260k DKK so I think that it is a bit expensive to buy a used IONIQ 28kWh for only 85k DKK less. But on the other hand that also indicate that the value of used IONIQs is good in Denmark.
