3 year old iPace with less than 50k miles are now sub £25k seems like a great used buy also

The chip shortage really concerns me. The cost has pretty much doubled and they were out of stock at Tesco last time I ordered.

I needed this...thanks for making it...

Glad you gave the Kona some love 👍

Been watching the prices closely and agree with your summary. Picking up a 2019 Model 3 Performance tomorrow. Excited! 😆

Great video, nice to see prices settling down. My head says Kona but ❤ says I3S!

I completely agree with your analysis. At the end of May I purchased a 3 year old Tesla Model 3 Performance for roughly 60% of its original purchase price and it drives and looks like new with no battery degradation that I can find. However, more remarkable, is that I've just sold back to BMW the BMW I've owned for the past 40 months, for £1450 less than I paid for it. Now that's what I call low depreciation! In my case, the "cost to change" to EV seems to have worked in my favour.

This is exactly what I’ve noticed which is why I’ve an appointment Monday to test drive a BMW i3 & a Hyundai Kona also going to look at the rest of the stock that the ev specialist dealer has in stock, thanks for all the info I’ve gleaned from your channel during the last couple of years, entertaining and valuable content. Cheers fella 👍

Great roundup, I currently have an id3 on a company lease scheme through tusker. Got about a year left, but their lease prices have shot up, makes the second hand market look more attractive again.

Thanks Andy good video get my kona delivered on Friday looking forward to it

Great video mate

Spot on as usual. Was hoping for a report on the MG5 Lr.

I really like your no nonsense approach. Thanks

Great video! We’ll done EVM.

Hello There, a great Video and it's interesting to hear your perspective, I would personally recommend the Nissan Leaf as it's a good all round and a practical car throughout. Cheers Peter :)

My Kona always gets 300+ even on the motorway when i set the adaptive cruise control on at 70mph

Bought a 2020 egolf for the wife - she loves it. Does a week commute and charge at the weekend whihc is perfect. Traded in a 2018 polo automatic + 2k - great value

Surprised no mention of the Hyundai Ioniq 38kWh. In Feb I got the top spec Premium SE, 20 plate, 39K miles. Gets 5-5.5mi/kWh, easily over 200 miles of range in the warmer weather..... all for £18k. Good size car, well equipped plus 5 year transferable warranty. Also for similar money you can get the MG5 too, yes it lacks an app for remote control/preconditioning and the infotainment is terrible, but it does have an 8 year warranty. If you stretch for the larger battery then you'll easily get over 200 miles range

Great video EVM

Now that prices have come back down to reality, I was able to trade in our 2013 Mazda 3 hatchback for a 2016 Nissan Leaf SV (our mid-level trim). We're now fully electric, as we also have a 2023 Tesla Model 3 RWD!

Just about to get on the EV wagon. If all goes well, I'll be getting hold of an ID.3 on Sunday - or as soon as I can after they have done the paint protection (bundled in the deal). Really excited about this. Rushing around and trying to get the best quote for a home charge install now.

Surely with better and cheaper EVs coming to the market in the next few years the only way is down for used EV prices?

Different shades of grey. That made me smile EVM.

Well timed video for me, just picked up a corsa e elite nav spec for just under 15,000 from a garage. Under 3 years old and under 20,000 miles so I'm very happy with it!

Great content as ever..really enjoy watching your videos. Just wondered if you know what has happened with Mr EV Andrew Till. He seems to have gone silent for a while now?

Love your screen saver 😎

Interesting info.

Not been a fan of EVs until recently when considering ‘downsizing’ current Volvo. As we have a solar/battery system recently installed and changed to 🐙 it does seem a no brainier. Seem to be looking at pre-loved Tesla 3 as cannot afford new anything these days, so took comfort from your comments on them as an owner, thank you for your listing… 👍🏻

An excellent run-down. You stuck to the facts, so the negatives and positives are there to be considered by individuals. Waiting to see the MG appear (no I don’t have one). Oops! You just did it. I am simply going to flag up insurance, because that gave me a shock, as a 60-year-old man with touch-wood, decent NCD. I checked on a Tesla Model 3 and it was a grand. The most I paid to then, including a large Volvo 5-pot estate auto, was £350 for a year. Putting that in perspective, road tax was about the same! I finally decided to focus laser-like on reliability, and by that I mean ‘lacking FRAGILITY’ and on costs like fuel etc, ended up with a Prius gen 3 and I specifically aimed at that age of hybrid where in the UK road tax was made zero, and ULEZ and the other zone, are complied with. Throw in insurance being more ‘normal’, and generating heat in winter being a huge plus/necessity (hillwalking), and it’s all rather logical,and obvious the choice for me. I don’t tow anything, this being a downside for some, and I do miss roof rails although less neat alternatives are available, and you can fit a towbar of sorts if it is just for light stuff eg mountain bikes as opposed to a caravan. I now understand the automatic transmission is basically a differential and only has one friction plate, even that is a safety for over-torque situations. ie not a friction plate normally in use, not a clutch. With this patented design Toyota bought from researchers making it first in Berkeley for General Motors who then made the mistake of selling it (!), Toyota have the most reliable transmission bar a single-speed constant-mesh system like Tesla which is a simple reduction gear. Put another way: when did you last break your differential? An ordinary one, a free-running one - never, probably, and that’s what the Prius/Toyota hybrid auto-trans is, just quite difficult to recognise (note though, it has three inputs/outputs, that’s your clue). Each to their own, decide what you need, research research research, then laser-in on the one you want and watch for duds and ‘bargains’. Take care all.

Keep up the good work yes I think there some good deals out there just bought my first ev EC 4 Citroen shine plus 72 reg 3020 miles for £ 22300 not cheap but good value in ev terms . I went for comfort and I’m not disappointed even speed bumps are fine and full of tech .👍

Car dealer magazine are reporting a further drop before levelling off . Still some hesitancy as dealers say EV's used take much longer to turnover. Catch 22 . Sitting on stock longer waiting for demand and thus profit or drop the price and negate the profit but create space for the next one.

I picked up a 2020 Ioniq 38kw ev in December. its costing me a fair bit in finance but saving a fair bit back through Solar charging :)

I bought a Hyundai Kona 71 reg Premium facelift model 17 months old 2 months ago. It was from my local Hyundai dealer and cost just under £23,000. I love the car, the quality and the drivability. Many of the reviews criticised the front wheel spinning when pulling away. I use mine in eco mode which gives a lovely smooth take off, and I am averaging 4.7 miles/kwh. I have the OVO overnight rate for cheaper charging at home which costs 10p per kWh. So the approximate cost of 10 to 80% (roughly 50 kWh) is £5. Not bad for over 200 miles range. I know I won't get the same economy on motorway runs or in the winter, but it will still be an economical car to run. What's not to like!

Great video. New but pre-registered vehicles from dealerships can be another good price option. I have seen the 40kWh Nissan Leaf for £20,975 in the N-Connecta model with less than 50 miles on the clock. For buyers willing to pay a little more than proper second hand car, pre registered can be a good option.

I do apologise for my comments with regard to your u-tube channel not accepting my comments. It was down to my end at fault. Your channel is extremely informative. Once again I do apologise.

Nobody talks about the cost of insurance. My Ford Mondeo Titanium renewal £350 Tesla £1350 A thousand pounds more for the same cover. You have to do a lot of miles to recover that cost.

Good points - six months ago I was a bit concerned that I'd wasted a lot of money on my leased Honda e, as it hadn't depreciated much. Today it's pretty much where you'd expect it to be and matches the lease calculations. Now have a big spreadsheet as I work out what to do next - we do a fair number of long trips in a loaded up ICE estate and the EV infrastructure isn't quite there for that yet. Leafs are a definite bargain if you can charge at home.

Yep I've just bought an M3 performance 3 years old and I've still got 1 year of the Tesla warranty and the dealer gave me an additional 3 years warranty, I can also charge at work for free. So that's practically free motoring compared to my previous 5 series BMW 👍

Love my 2015 11 bar leaf

I've never heard a Yorkshire man pronounce e-Up, and now my life is complete, thank you!

But...Mr. Bean said "EVs are bad''! All good choices, mate. We picked up a 2020 MG ZS for 18,900 and are very happy with it. It's a solid car and in this warm weather, the GOM is giving us 180 miles.

Your video made us pull the trigger on our first electric vehicle! Maybe you should make a video regarding the mileage of an used ev and battery performance. Higher Miles = lower range ?!?!? What are the advantages and disadvantages of purchasing or leasing a second hand EV with a lot of miles on the clock. Then we were told to charge the battery up to 80% if we use it on shorter distance and only charge it up to 100% when we plan to make a longer trip. Is this common knowledge? Is this valid for all EVs or is it something that Audi does? Does rapid charging affect the life and range of the battery? Same question for trickle charging. So many questions that new EV owners have and we can't easily find an answer. BTW massive fan of your channel. Very informative compared to others. Following your recommendation from another video we went for a Ohme pro charger as we are already on a Octopus energy contract.

I agree. I found a 2015 vw e-golf for sale and they couldn't get rid if it. It was a haor over 100k so just outside of warranty. I got it for 8k and have had no problems at all. Fully charged is 84 miles range and thats what was predicted when new. I sold my 03 Toyota Highlander for 4k. So basically i upgraded to a top trim car that is 12 years newer for 4k. Honestly im tempted to see if I can sell it where i am for 13k and then see if i can find a newer tesla.

We have a Nissan Leaf with the 62kwh battery, Amazing car and we have that on lease, Less than £300 a month including maintenance. We need to replace that next year. Not really sure what we will replace it with as the new lease deals are a fortune. Thanks for the amazing content.

I brought a 2019 Tesla model 3 long range at the start of April direct from Tesla for 29k. Think I was lucky as prices have gone back up since. Regardless, it is a good time to buy

I swapped from a 4 year old 22kwh Zoe, owned battery, to a now 5 year old Kia Soul 30kwh - each purchased at 2 years old coming off lease. Both low mileage, full service and good warranty. Korean EVs are certainly very efficient even when shaped like a brick as mine is! Not sure what is next, but thanks for your video.

I am pretty sad that my Ioniq dropped by about 3/4k two months later. Although I will say thanks for the home smart charge recommendation. Did a cracking job with our install. I would highly recommend the Ohme Epod to anyone looking for a new one :)

Thanks for your videos, been watching them for a few years and finally took the plunge in buying an EV just over a month ago. I bought a first edition ID3 (I know you’re not the biggest fan of them!) that had only done 8k miles in 2 years. Looking back through the dealers website, they had it on their forecourt and were trying to sell it for £37k last November. I picked it up for around £10k less than that. I almost wish I’d given it another month or two, looking at others now I probably could have saved a little bit more. I’m loving it though, first attempt at a long journey tomorrow!

On Autotrader now there are two Hyundai Kona Premium SE EV's ( top of the range - heated and ventilated seats etc ) 15000 miles for £19k. Tesla inventory new cars Model Y from £40500. As you say there are some bargains around.

I do like these types of videos

Been out looking at used EV's today (new ones are silly prices). Tempted by a a 22 Plate Mokka-e Elite Premium with 8.7k on the clock for £18.34k. It will be for my wife as a 2nd car effectively. To fund the purchase we've got to sell her Skoda Karoq first. Unfortunately the trade in value against the Mokka was nowhere near what the Karoq is worth so we'll have to wait until we sell it privately or via one of the online car buying sites. Ideally we would like to stretch a bit further & get a top spec facelift Kona. Our goal is to switch to an EV for no extra cost.

Great overview of the current state of the market Andy and yes there are a few dealers on Twitter crying into their cornflakes 😂 I've just purchased a Aug 21 Mazda MX-30 top spec with 8k miles for £18.5k which in my book is a bit of a bargain. Yes the range is compromised but we prioritise comfort and premium features over range as 90% of our journeys are

Not into electric cars yet, so please pardon my ignorance. A couple of questions. 1. Are miles travelled any relevance for electric cars, for ICE engines normally associated to engine wear and servicing, is that relevant for installed electric motors on EVs? 2. Perhaps with more older EVs becoming available second hand, instead of asking for money off, should we be asking for a new battery pack or something else to upgrade to the electronics pack on board if available?

Which of the cheaper

I think the old shape MG ZS Exclusive is worthy of a mention, less than 20k mileage few years old and under £16k. Lot of car for the money.

11:05 I would ordinarily "prefer" a Hyundai Kona for the reasons you mentioned but the main selling point of a Kia Niro is that it works with Octopus Intelligent even if you've got say a non Ohme charger That's a very useful thing. Once Zappi and GivEnergy make their chargers compliant with Octopus similar to Ohme, then I'd buy a Kona instead I would say "in a heartbeat" but there's no way I'm replacing my cheap 2011 Toyota Yaris with a much newer car, EV or not

Any thoughts on the Mustang? Starting to see more of these about now.

I can't stop looking at the fact you have the task bar aligned to the centre!

A great round up and as I have a year left on my lease, the options for replacing it are getting really good and as the warranty periods for some of these are long it takes the risk of any issues away. It will be a cheaper way to drive electric again, enjoying the cheap running costs. 200 miles for £3.70 is something I will not stop enjoying!

I think prices are going further south , volumes of off lease ex company cars are still going up while demand is relatively static , wait 12 months. On the other hand prices of ICE cars are quite hard, particularly cheaper older cars in good condition.

I’ve been watching e-Niro’s for a good few months now and can see the steady reduction. I’m saving at the moment and want to spend between £20-25k. In that price range the e-Niro seems to be great value for money.

I have a client wanting to switch to a Model S but balking at the Price. I'm showing her several 2020 Model S LR+ which Tesla packages with Full Self Drive and if similarly equipt are half price. With 5 year battery warranty and 2 to 3 year bumper to bumper warranty.

Volvo EX30 might be on list soon

hi great vlog when do you think the new ford explorer will be on your channel thanks.

15k seems to be entry into a pretty cool EV .

Is there a way of checking battery condition at the individual cell level?

If and when the public charging price goes down I think the value of EVs will go up slightly. At the moment for someone who fully relies on public charging it's cheaper to drive a diesel unfortunately. Hopefully charging will become cheaper next year

I'm thinking of a full EV now having had an Ampera for the last 6 years. For a normal family size car the original Ioniq 28 or 38kwh look good value now. Not only good value but very efficient too.

Im guessing with interest rates so high finance options are crappy also helping driving prices down if you have the cash up front

Planning to get a model 3 in about 6 months when the lease on my leaf e+ is up... I'm hoping the used prices don't rally too much, but I think a new model will probably keep it at bay.

Tesla charger network is good but how much is it per kw and do you need a monthly subscription ? Audi Etron you mention will only do 150 miles max range and 3 years old means no manufacturer warranty. Will used and new EV prices drop further if there is a suggested government charge of 6p per mile charge for EV's ????????????

I really like the BMW I3, could you give me your thoughts: if anything needed replacing would the parts for this car more expensive because it is a BMW?

Going to garage to buy a 70 plate Zoe, today❤❤

It will be interesting in a couple of years time when 3 year old Tesla Y’s become available as they are so popular new at the moment

It’s quite interesting that you’ve done a video on this, I’ve been looking at affordable replacements for our Ioniq 38kWh, not because it’s old or giving any issues (we’ve had it for nearly 2years), but because I’d like something with a little more range and possibly boot space (along with more performance & style if poss). I was initially surprised at the number of SE spec’d iPaces available for less than £30k, but seeing E-Trons that low blew my mind 🤯 until that is, I checked the quoted range…. 196 miles!! From a 71 kWh battery!! That’s no better than my Ioniq! So in summary; I like the idea of an iPace having had the use of one for 6 weeks, but Jaguar reliability is a worry. A model 3 is also tempting given the access to the supercharger network. But I think I’ll wait for models like the EV6 and Polestar 2 LR to drop to similar levels. Thanks for another informative video 👍🏾

Our car market is far away from that state you have in the UK because here far less EV sold than there. Even there probably not so easy to get a real bargain. That is hard to guess what will be the market price for a used EV with more older, more used battery pack when you want to sell after 3 years later or so. That is true if you want to buy an EV is best to buy a used one which is a real bargain, than risking too much money. The value loss drop is still in place, so best to avoid the new cars. I hope soon there will be a battery cell type change because the current one is not really safe. I am not planning to buy an EV in the next 5 years but I definitely wait the ones with LiFePo or solid state cells. Maybe the LiFePo cells will reignite the EV market because they are not just much safer but they are far durable than the current ones. Some manufacturers are already started to switch on it.

I was wanting to buy a used Bolt but just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger; compared to my ancient 2013 Leaf, it felt like a sh*tbox. So here I am, still shopping for a used EV with at least 100 miles of range and fast charging (my Leaf has 45 mile range and no fast charging).

Great. What van can I get for £1000 - 1500 max? Used van prices are still mental

Seeing the prices are tumbling down nicely... Think Ill hold on to me diesel for another year or two for variety

Prices have come down to reality at last. Still expensive to me mibd you but im old and remember paying £195 for my first car lol.( 10 yo car )

Bought a Sept 21 Zoe Rapid Charge (ish-50kw!) a couple of months ago for £16,500. 12.500 miles, 3.5 years/82,500 miles left on Renault car warranty, more for battery. 2 free services left from original purchase too. Made up with it. Have already put around 5-6k on it with no issues. Seems like a bargain to me!

I sold my 64 kWh 3 yr old e Niro a year ago for 30k€, and bought a new top range MG ZS EV for 31k€ including a fitted tow bar. They second hand price crept up to 35k€, now it seems to have come down to 30k€. Maybe because there is such a long waiting list for a new MG?

I bought a used ioniq at the peak of prices last Oct. Value now plummeted but I don't care. Won't be selling it anytime soon, fantastic underrated car ( not on evms list) and above all very efficient real word 180mile + range. Regular get 6miles kWh . Even managed 8miles kwh a few weeks ago. Unreal.

No MG ZS ev in the list? Surprising as surely they are one of the best value buys at the moment

Tesla 3 looks great value Best regards Martin

What the market needs is a full size EV similar size to a Passat estate etc that can do 300 miles. Until then small ev are of no use. KIA do a electric car which is bigger then most but warranty is terrible and even when warranty parts availability horrendous. I have a Kia and in last 3 years has spent 14 months off road awaiting parts which always go on back order. Ask your local Kia dealer and I they will tell you how bad it is. Also such things as brake booster should be warranty but Kia class this as wear and tear part so be careful thinking you have 7 year warranty. At the end of day EV cars prices are dropping so much faster then diesel or petrol.

I bought my first EV (leaf 2013) a bit over 2 years ago I paid 5500 Euro's for it. I wouldn't sell for 10000 euro now. It has 207000+ km on the odometer. Battery is 10/12 and it looks like it is new.

I might have missed it but is there a reason why you didn't show any love for the original/updated ioniq? I've been looking at it as a great/cheap 2nd car option.

Andy says Chademo chargers are getting less common. That's not entirely true. I have a Nissan Leaf and most newer charging hubs have Chademo. Not only that but the bigger hubs like Gridserve have twice the maximum charge speed going from 50kw to 100kw. I'm not sure which Chademo cars can charge at 100kw but it certainly maintains a higher charge speed on my Leaf.

I'm happy that other people like EVs. For me waiting an hour for a battery to recharge holds zero attraction.

I basically have different criteria on car purchase. How quick it is does not really matter to me at all. All EV cars are quick enough. Driving quality does not matter to me. They are more or less the same unless you go porche. My criteria is reliability realibility and reliability and , how easy it is to find a dealership and parts in case it breaks down the line. I would simply buy a car that was sold the most. They are easier to find parts and garage after years.

The car I’d have added is the Fiat 500e. A used one - with the bigger 42kWh battery of course - can be picked up for under £16k. Compare that with the new price of £30k (even with the latest £3000 Fiat discount) and that’s a hell of a bargain for a 2 year old car.

I was in my local Renault garage a week ago and they had the very last Renault Twizy in. Brand new they wanted £22K..... I kid you not. thing is, someone WILL buy that

I've got an Enyaq on lease and hoping the come in under £25k when the lease is up in December. Being a giant of a man with a baby seat behind me, it's one of very few EVs that we could both afford and fit in to!

How about a privately imported Nissan Sakura?

Just bought wife 29/12/2022 ZOE with 20 miles on the clock for £ 16500. Great price. Good video.

I think the Ioniq 38kwh is the biggest bargain out there at the moment!

I'm glad NOT to see the Chevrolet Bolt (a.k.a. Opel Ampera-e) on your list. It means that people are unwilling to sell the Bolts.

What do you think. I have a 3 year lease on a Kona EV 64 kw. Do I spend the £1100 on a home charger, OR Charge on granny charger and public network when I need. I do very little mileage, so the granny may be enough.

There's no chance you'll get £25-26k private now for the Model 3, dealers have stock with a warranty and usual dealers finance options for £24k for normal mileage ones, less with a few miles on the clock. That red line needed to come down a bit more! Lol
