over the years and years of doing this YouTube channel I think I've pretty much test driven reviewed whatever you want to call it every used evv that you can get there's a couple of the new ones that we haven't uh tested yet but we'll get there as well as that I've also been keeping an eye on the used market in terms of the prices of EVS for quite some time now partly because of the content cars that I buy and partly because I don't really have a life now this gives me a good overview as to what's out there and how much they're costing and the most common question when we're talking about cars EVS anywhere to someone in person is well I'm thinking about buying this EV or getting this Eevee which is the best electric vehicle now that's relatively easy when you're talking to someone and you understand what they need and their requirements but as a generic video it's impossible to do you might need a big car a small car six seats seven seats two seats long range short range what's good for one isn't necessarily good for for anyone else so what I've done is create a top 10 used EVS based on value so when I say value what I mean is a car that you may think well this is kind of bland it's not really me it's a bit boring it's just not something I would buy but make it cheap enough then I might consider it so that's essentially what this video is top 10 used EVS for me anyway based on what's around right now in April 2024 you know making a list of the top 10 best value EVS on the market right now was quite difficult but you know what wasn't difficult finding the best value home charge company now if I needed a home charger they installed mine would be getting one from smarthome charge. co.uk they they have a huge array of charges you can scroll down the list there's ton of them you've got a comparison tool so you tell them what car you've got and they will pick the best one for your particular vehicle they've got loads of accessories cables different lengths if you need public charging type two for example they've got all that you can pay in full you can pay in monthly installments and you've got all options I've had mine installed by them my brothers Harry's all by smart home charge and it's been faultless check their trust pilot score and please thank them for sponsoring this channel so that's smome charge. co.uk now because it's 4° outside in April I thought I'd do the rest inside so again I've got a list of 10 cars there's no particular order in this one maybe alphabetical but it's not a case of this is number 10 and that's number one it's just a block of the top 10 cars as I see it the first car then it is the Corsa e again not the most exciting car in the world I think there are better stellantis clones out there that share the underpinnings and the drivetrain and the battery but overall the value is quite good on the used Market it's very very good this one here has done 23,000 miles and it's just under 105,000 for a 4-year-old low mileage Corsa e again at that price if you just need something you know little small hatchback super mini whatever you want to call it I think that's a very good value the next one is much much bigger it's based on the id4 or at least it shares its platform and ultimately does it better in almost every way got a huge boot good for families good if you need to stuff loads of stuff in the back or if you got dog or something like that with your family and it's the scod enac this one has done 58,000 Mi almost it's 71 registration so that's 2 and 1 half years old give or take a month or two and it's less than1 19,000 pound this is the 62 K version so they do a bigger battery version but for most people that will suit and for less than 19 Grand given its size again I would consider that something worth at least looking at if size is what you're after scaling it right back now to this a fantastic little EV called the Honda e it's one of those that not many people would want to buy new it was too expensive and all it was quirky the range wasn't quite the there and that PO people off and ultimately it just well it was too expensive quite frankly so if you can take that out of the equation and accept that as Honda said at the time this is just a city car it's a second car it's not meant as an only vehicle so range is semi-relevant at this price considering they were over 30 grand new 145,000 give or take it's a 70 regge so again it's about three and 1/2 years old 255,000 miles and I think that is one of the best small EVS around a guaranteed future classic and very unique in its looks it won't appeal to everybody but I'm I'm looking at one genuinely moving back to practicality now something which has the Interior Space of a Pat but the exterior size of a golf it's of course the Volkswagen ID3 now the facelift for me is solved most problems that this original version had the interior quality was poor the design not brilliant and it just looked a bit low rent it's been admitted by Volkswagen that it wasn't good enough which is why there substantially changed their ethos they've fixed the issue so that issue absolutely existed I'm not trying to say that if you've got an ID3 it's not a very good car it is it's really practical it's a good size and uh well they're relatively cheap on the used Market this one is just over £1 13,000 remember this is a good family siiz EV it's again 70 R so 3 and 1/2 years old and it's done 58,000 m i quite like the look of them on the outside but again it's the interior that let them down big and practical and and solid But ultimately look at the ca born versus that it's so much better just like the enyak is a lot better interior than the id4 at 13 Grand 13 and a half worth a look moving forward we have a slightly bigger family EV and this is one from a group of Manufacturers that I think are almost on power with Tesla in terms of the whole EV package you got 800 volt charging you got decent efficiency good size good practicality and it's really well thought out and it's also a really good looking EV for the for most people not everybody thinks that but it's again it's quite unique and a lot of people do like it and at this price the ionic 5 from Hyundai well £235,000 a lot of money I'm not saying it isn't but this is the bigger battery version the 73 kwh version it's done 33,000 M and it's what it's a 2022 regge car which means it's what 2 years old remember you get 5year warranty on the car with Hyundai I think it's eight years on the battery so 235,000 for that again that's a lot of car for the money sticking with the same group now a car that would match the range of the ionic 5 yet it's substantially cheaper it's obviously a little bit older but it's a really really efficient EV it will easily do 50 miles maybe 60 M more in the real world than my Tesla standard range that sat on the drive out there so again I would class it as a relatively long range EV and at this price the hyundi Cora the 64 kwh version for £1,700 I think is a cracking deal it's uh 69 red so this is 4 and a half years old so it's still got 6 months left on the car warranty obviously again the batter's well under warranty uh 665,000 miles it's not a big car it's a relatively compact SUV crossover whatever you want to call it but it's it's less than 122,000 for something that will easily do 25060 miles in the real world moving to something a lot newer now this one's only 18 months old it's not been out that long for in terms of the cars I've shown you but it is very good value new it's got a bland interior certainly at the B spec it's got very dull interior quite frankly but it's functional and it works and the car is actually very good to drive this one is the mg4 so again this is the B speec the 51 K kwh version so it's a lower battery size but it's 152 ,000 for an 18 month old EV and yes not everybody likes mg but quite frankly it's a bit snobbery going on there again if you need a family EV it's on the list the next one is a car that I've owned for longer than any other car that we've recently sold it's the mini the electric mini of course in this case I had the petrol version It's essentially the same car just with an electric drivetrain relatively expensive for the size of the car and especially for the r you're only going to get 110 n miles of real world at this price for a level two that's the mid-spec version with granted 73,000 Mi so that is quite high but it's less than £12,000 for about another grand you can get one that's done about 40 50,000 mil but again a level two mini electric for less than 12 Grand and it's what it's 4 years old that's a quick fun relatively hot hatch doesn't look like a hot hatch but it certainly drives like one so for that it is really good fun this is obviously just arrived which is why I've got no pictures for you but again that's the sty price you might even get it cheaper than that next is a car you can't really leave out of a top 10 EV any list really and i' probably get shut down by the Tesla ratti it is of course a Tesla and in this case it's the model 3 it's a brilliant package it's the best EV package that you can buy when you factor in the charging network of course and how Tesla just do the efficiency and the whole EV sort of worry package that people have the anxiety the charging the is it going to work that's taken care of so that alone is worth at least looking at a Tesla I believe there are better cars out there for me personally but as a package there are none better which is why I've owned one for over four years now I genuinely was going to look at this car it's gone now but I was going to look at one and thinking about replacing our standard range plus with this because it wasn't that much extra from mine to this one it's the long range model 3 it's in the more expensive red if that floats your boat but again it's an optional extra and it's £22,000 £47,000 Mi so it's still under full Tesla warranty the battery of course in the drivetrain is 8 years 100,000 mil but that is a perfect car to get get it checked and then if there is anything wrong you know like a pre- warranty check get Tesla to fix it under warranty 22 Grand it's the four-wheel drive long range bigger battery version and well that was probably back in 2021 so again it's three years old that was that been what nearly 50,000 in fact it have been over £50,000 with that color but because there's so so many model 3s there's a lot of choice out there they've gone down at a faster rate than others especially with Tesla dropping the price etc etc but again I don't think 22 Grand for one of those for the long range one it's a very very quick car the final one now a car we've always praised on this channel since it first came out well quite a few years ago now five years ago something like that very good family car it's sold in bucket loads in terms of all versions electric and petrol and it's one that it doesn't always you know get you here you know you're heart racing but you can't really fault it for its practicality for a family for it size space its range easily over 250 mi in the real world and this one is the Kia Nero of course it will be what else and the one massive advantage of AIA over pretty much everything else out there not everything but most things is that you get 7year warranty on the whole car not just the battery as always and that means as a use proposition it's very very tempting because you could buy a three-year-old one that's still got four years left which is longer than well the ID3 brand new is 3 years the Pulstar 2 a lot of Volvo a lot of cars still only come with a threeyear warranty this particular version 49,000 mil it's 145 Grand and it's what it's a 71 R it's 2 and 1/2 years old you got five and a half years left on that car and the reason and only real downside to this specific version at 14 and a half is that it's the two speec so they do the two spec the three spec and the four well the four plus as well but effectively two three and four I have no idea what happened to one but the two is the uh the poverty spec if you will now you're probably thinking h on a minute where's the BMW i3 or i3s a car I highly rate that very nearly made it it's just a bit too expensive compared to other stuff out there the posha tyan I mean there's quite a lot that I haven't mentioned here doesn't mean that they're bad it's just that they're being edged out the tyan is a very expensive car but for 45 £50,000 you're getting a car that used to cost over £100,000 I'd feel gutted if I bought one of those so yeah it doesn't mean that there wasn't a lot close to this top 10 and it could be a top 20 quite frankly But ultimately I would consider this my best bunch I should also point out that the cars I've shown like this Eero you can get cheaper versions you can get cheaper you know examples of what I've shown you the ones I've gone for were really good value versions like the carser at the beginning it only done 20 OD th000 miles I've seen some for less than 10 grand but they've got like 60 70 80,000 so I'm not saying these are the cheapest prices I'm saying look at the value of that and that's just a starting point you could probably beat that if you looked long enough you could probably get something a little bit cheaper that might be even better value so as always thank you for watching hopefully that was useful to you and uh don't forget the like subscribe all the usual rubbish that really does help YouTube channels if
