SHOULD I BUY A USED MERCEDES-BENZ EQS SUV OR A USED HYUNDAI IONIQ 5?

EV Channels Review

This episode of Battery Bargains tackles viewer questions about replacing a Nissan Leaf, choosing between a new or used Chevy Bolt, and selecting a comfortable used EV for long hauls. The hosts recommend a Chevrolet Equinox EV lease for a couple seeking an affordable second car, highlighting its value and availability. For a viewer undecided on a Chevy Bolt, they advise against waiting for the next generation and suggest a nearly new 2023 Bolt EV as a strong option, potentially eligible for used EV tax credits. The most complex query involves a viewer torn between the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV for comfort and long-distance travel. While initially leaning towards the EQS SUV due to its comfort and available deals on used models, the hosts also strongly recommend the Kia EV9 and the upcoming Hyundai Ioniq 9 for their space and value. They also suggest the Genesis GV60 as a premium alternative that balances comfort, space, and a refined driving experience, potentially offering better value than the EQS SUV.
