Cheap Used Electric Cars

The cheapest electric used cars

Those looking for an electric occasion for a limited budget quickly end up with models like the BMW i3, Volkswagen e-Golf, Renault Zoë, Peugeot e-208, Opel Corsa-e and the Hyundai Kona Electric. There are options for less than €10,000, but count on a modest range of under 100 kilometers, often unrealistic for daily use. From around €10,000, the range widens and becomes more interesting.

The i3, e-Golf and Zoe belong to the first generation of EVs. The e-Golf feels familiar, a classic Golf, but electric. The i3 and Zoë are more futuristic, with unique designs and lightweight materials. With the Zoë, pay close attention to the battery type: older models sometimes have a rental battery, or a battery with limited capacity (22 or 41 kWh), which will get you 130-220 kilometers in practice. Newer models go toward 300 kilometers and charge faster.

Those with a little more to spend - around €12,500 - can already regularly find a nice Peugeot e-208 or Opel Corsa-e. These modern hatchbacks combine sleek design with solid build quality, a 50 kWh battery pack and a realistic range of about 280-300 kilometers. They charge at 11 kW AC and up to 100 kW DC as standard, making them very suitable for everyday use.

For around €15,000, the Hyundai Kona Electric enters the picture, a compact SUV with plenty of interior space, 300 kilograms of towing weight and an excellent range of 350 kilometers in the version with the large battery pack (64 kWh). This makes it an ideal all-rounder, even for longer trips or vacations.

Do you want to spend a little more and are looking for an EV of the latest generation? From €16,000-17,000 you can already find a Tesla Model 3: a Long Range with over 200,000 kilometers, or a Standard Range around 170,000 kilometers. With this you get top technology, lots of comfort and up to 425 kilometers of range, still one of the best price-performance ratios on the market.

Eccasion's verdict

At Eccasion, we see it every day: electric cars like the Tesla Model 3 and Hyundai Kona that are still in excellent condition even after 200,000 kilometers. It shows that a used EV with a good maintenance history and strong build quality can be a smart choice, especially when compared to a new fuel car.

Take the Volkswagen e-Golf, for example: there are plenty on offer, often with surprising options such as adaptive cruise control, heated seats and a heat pump. And if you have a good idea of your daily trips, you can save a lot by deliberately choosing a model with a smaller battery, perfect if you mainly drive short distances.

With Eccasion you buy directly from the source: without expensive showrooms or intermediaries. As a result, you pay less and get more for your money. We always check charging specifications, battery condition and maintenance history, so you know exactly what you're buying, whether it's a compact city car or an all-round family car.
