NEED AN AWD EV WITH THREE ISOFIX LATCHES IN 2ND ROW, AND ROOM FOR A DOG | BATTERY BARGAINS

EV Channels Review

This episode of Battery Bargains tackles a viewer's need for an all-wheel-drive EV suitable for a family of five, including three children requiring ISOFIX latches in the second row, and space for a large dog. The hosts explore various European market options, highlighting the difficulty in finding a vehicle that meets all these specific criteria, particularly the three ISOFIX points. While acknowledging the Stellantis vans (Peugeot e-Traveler, Citroën ë-SpaceTourer) and the upcoming Peugeot e-5008 as potential candidates, they note limitations such as front-wheel drive or outdated charging technology. The Volkswagen ID. Buzz is discussed, with the long-wheelbase version being the preferred option, though potentially exceeding the budget. Ultimately, the recommendation leans towards the Audi e-tron due to its availability and price on the used market, suggesting that replacing a car seat might be more practical than finding a perfect car. The hosts also briefly touch upon the Chevrolet Bolt used EV tax credit eligibility and a viewer's search for a temporary EV SUV before their Rivian R2 arrives, favoring the Hyundai Ioniq 5 for its Vehicle-to-Load capability for camping.
