Hey - looks like you are in the UK so one resource for 2nd hand EV knowledge is EVM (electric vehicle man) on YouTube. He just bought a £4400 2018 Renault Zoe and it’s as good as it left the factory.

At 30,000 miles that car will be as good as new, and I think Hyundai have a 7 year warranty so you still have a couple of years left on that too.

But find a make/model you like and check out autotrader and don’t be afraid to travel for the right car, a £100 train ticket might just save you a few grand and you’ll get a good range test on the way home.

Used ev owner, literally been a perfect experience. My brother has a 2013 fiat 500e and I have a 2018 fiat 500e. Both of us have had to do tires and some minor 12v battery hiccups. Total repairs (not including people wrecking into us...twice) 0$

Both cars have been hit in the same place (for the same reason...failing to yield) and both cars were repaired in a timely manner and without extra issues.

I've driven 24k in my one year of ownership.

I got a three-year old EV and it's easily the best car I've had. Battery condition would be a concern for a 2013 car, the technology wasn't as good back then, but not a 2018 one. Hyundai (and sister brand Kia) have a seven-year transferable warranty. Browse the autotrader app a lot to see what you can get within 40 miles of your home so you know what's a good price. I bought from a dealership in the end, but not my local one, who tend to price a couple of grand above what I came to expect.
