WE HAVE $25,000 TO SPEND ON A USED ELECTRIC CAR! HELP US DECIDE WHAT TO CONSIDER

EV Channels Review

This video kicks off a new series where the hosts aim to find the best used electric vehicle for under $25,000, a budget that qualifies for a new federal tax credit. The hosts discuss several potential candidates, including the Chevrolet Bolt, Volkswagen e-Golf, BMW i3, and Nissan Leaf. While the Bolt is highlighted for its range, availability, and GM's battery replacement program, the e-Golf is favored for its driving dynamics and solid platform, despite its limited range and slower DC charging. The BMW i3 is noted for its unique design but faces challenges with battery size and range extender limitations in the US market. The series will involve extensive dealer visits, research into known issues like battery degradation, and a long-term ownership test by one of the hosts, including winter testing in Colorado. The ultimate goal is to provide practical advice for buyers navigating the used EV market.
