Anyone here on a 2nd hand EV? What has the buying/ ownership experience been like so far? (lemmy.world)

Anything, really. But of particular interest is how the range holds up from the original stated, powertrain degradation if any, and other general stuff like fit and finish, electronic gremlins, weather effects etc. Thanks in advance!

I bought a 2 year old, 2017 BMW i3 and have had basically no range reduction. I primarily charge at home on a level 2 charger. The i3 didn't have a ton of range to begin with, so if you live in a colder climate, make sure you account for losing some of the stated range during colder months.

Was going to give a very similar story. Mine was a 2017 as well after 18 months. Been very happy with it.
