Hey y’all,
I live in the US and am in the market for a used EV but I’m not sure what to look out for. I want something with AWD and a decent range, storage space, and preferably a tow hitch. I don’t really want a truck (even though that’s kinda what I described) but rather something more along the lines of a hatchback.
The tow hitch is mainly so that I can attach an e-bike capable carrier to transport my e-bike
AWD is so I can drive up the mountain to snowboard
I don’t own one, but the Hyundai Ioniq 5 would be worth a look.
I own one, and I agree.
Not sure how much storage space you need but I’m really satisfied with the Hyundai Ioniq 6. Thanks to its good aerodynamics, it’s one of the most efficient EVs which in turn leads to a good range. It can tow trailers, is available with AWD, has physical buttons for all important functions, supports Android Auto and Apple Carplay. It internally uses a current of 800V (rather than 400 as many other EVs) which allows for really fast charging speeds.
There’s also a slightly larger (less aerodynamic) version of it, called Ioniq 5.
Based on what I saw in reviews, the Volkswagen ID.7 is also a really nice car with lots of storage space but there I didn’t have the chance to drive one so far.
I have a Kia EV6 and I love it. I put a tow hitch on it last summer.
Kia/Hyundai is making some of the best EVs right now
I have an f150 Lightning and love it, but if you’re not wanting a truck I’ve heard good things about the Ioniq, and I’ve been in a Mach E and it was pretty nice.
