Need some help deciding which EV to buy SUV or station wagon as far as vehicle type goes, need a bigger car this time and would like to ask for some tips on which are reliable and as a secondary parameter good range or battery capacity, features and esthetics are not important also i’m in Germany and how best to approach buying a used EV, any tips are appreciated.
Never heard of LUCID till now and there don’t seem to be offered anywhere in 250km radius, but will keep an eye out for the others, thank you.
Since you are in the EU I think Xiaomi SU7(Chinese) might be available in '27. Those are like Taycans but costs about 42k new.
Also if it gets cold, you might want to look for vehicles that can preheat the battery.
Lucid might be us only?
Just 1 Xiaomi offered in a 200 km radius YU7 for 65000…
You don’t need fast charging unless you plan to take road trips. I have an older Chevy Bolt that doesn’t fast charge as quickly as some of the more recent cars, and it hasn’t bothered me. On long trips I just stop somewhere for 30 minutes or so to refill. Gives me time to walk the dog, stretch my legs, grab a bite or a drink, and use the rest room. After that it’s usually charged back up to 80%.
Honestly, decent battery range is more important than fast charging speed, unless you’re doing a lot of long business trips. More range means less stops on long trips, and less worry about remembering to plug in the car when you’re at home.
