Second hand EV? (feddit.uk)

I've seen a 2018 Hyundai Ioniq Premium SE fairly local and under £14,000 and under 30kiles. I've no idea what to look out for when buying used.

Any advice or thoughts on used ev's? Does mileage mean much. I suppose battery condition would be the main concern?

Also I wouldn’t worry about range, EVs are outlasting their battery degradation estimates by a fair margin. If you expect range to be cut by 1/3 to account for external factors (heat/cold/charger malfunction) and you’ll be good. So if your commute is 50 miles just leave home with at least 75.
