BEST USED ELECTRIC VEHICLES FOR £5K TO £10K

EV Channels Review

This video explores the used electric vehicle market in the UK for budgets between £5,000 and £10,000, as of 2020. The reviewer highlights the Peugeot Ion as a basic, affordable option for short commutes with around 50 miles of range. Moving up, the Renault Zoe (2013, battery lease) is presented as a small family car capable of about 70 miles, with the battery lease offering peace of mind for older models. The Nissan Leaf (2014, 24kWh, battery lease) is recommended for families, offering similar range and reliability. For around £7,000, a 2015 Renault Zoe with battery lease is again a strong contender for value and low running costs. The reviewer emphasizes total cost of ownership, noting the absence of traditional ICE maintenance like cambelts and oil changes. A standout deal is a 2016 Nissan Leaf (24kWh) for £8,645, noted as being below market value. The video concludes that for this budget, the choice largely narrows down to the Renault Zoe or Nissan Leaf, with the reviewer advising patience and thorough research to find bargains, particularly those with battery lease options to mitigate battery degradation concerns.
