More miles for your moolah

Used EVs with a decent range are now available for less than you might think. VICKY PARROTT goes the distance

The used electric car market remains an erratic place, but there's good news if you're after a touring EV. There's a huge variety of long-rangers offering some 250 miles of real-world range and rapid charging for usefully under £20,000.

If you can, buy from a dealer with EV experience who can provide a battery report. Modern EV batteries are proving to be robust and long-lived, so don't be afraid of high-mileage cars. But with battery degradation still a factor, it's good to have full transparency on the charging history and state of health for the battery in the car you're considering. Here's our pick of what's available.

KIA EV6 AIR 2022-2025

We seriously considered the EV6 for the top spot, here. It is great to drive and has the potential to charge much faster than the Polestar 2, and there's that seven-year warranty to consider.
