I'm looking at replacing our other car and would like a BEV again.
1st car is an outlander PHEV and looking to swap the wife's car.
I would be looking at around 1-2 years old with mileage under 10k.
So far the only 3 I can see coming close are the MG ZS EV (exclusive), the e golf and the Leaf (tekna).
we have previously had a leaf which was a great car but only a 24kw so range became an issue. We already have a wall charger installed at home.
I'd be looking at a personal loan so would be a cash buyer. (the loan would probably be 4-5 years so something to consider with warranties etc) I wouldn't want to lease a battery. Need a range of around 100-120 usable miles including in winter, nit just in nicer weather.
Although I can stretch to about 20k, I'd prefer to be closer to the lower end of the money.
Is there anything else out there that I'm missing or should also consider. (the Zoe and Mii are probably too small)
I'm tempted by the MG due to price vs age/mileage and the long warranty.
I like the golf although in my price range they're older with more miles but I imagine the build quality is better than the MG and it would depreciate less but they seem to have short warranties.
The leaf would be a real contender as we loved the old one.
What's your thoughts and is there any other factors I've missed that I should also consider when weighing up my options?
spending this much I'm a bit hesitant with a private sale so would prefer something that gives me some comeback if there are any issues.
