    I just want a half decent second hand EV that will do 120 miles, for a reasonable price.

    I can buy an acceptable ICE car for £5k, and it’ll do that.
    But at that price range, the only BEVs can get are shagged leafs that will do 50 miles on a good day.

    The really annoying thing, is that 95% of my journeys are sub 50 miles. But I’m not willing to spend more than half the journey time charging midway through.

      I test drove a Leaf and honestly it felt bad brand new. I got range anxiety just taking it on the highway and back to the dealer.

      So far, I think Tesla has a monopoly on practical EVs. Say what you will about the cars (or their leadership) but the charger network they built out and having ~150 miles of actual range is hard to beat in an existing product.

      EVs are fairly new while ICE vehicles have been produced for 100 years. This is why you can get an ICE for $5k but currently not an EV.
