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.
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.
