    What is a good used EV brand that has all wheel drive and good range? I plan on getting a good used EV in the next 5 years or so, and I saw that tesla 3’s with AWD and long-range batteries are like 21k after a tax credit. So if anyone knows of a good brand and model that is around that price, please let me know. I would rather not get a tesla, but the only other car I saw was the Nissan LEAF, and it has a range of like 150 miles so in the winter I’ll be looking at 75 mile range with that car.

    I wish I could get a normalnass car but with an electric engine in it. I don’t need an infotainment screen or any of that stuff, but sadly, they don’t make those.

      Ask again in five years. I don’t think this is very predictable because the industry is so volatile right now. Case in point, you talk about the low price for a used model 3, but two years ago they had the best resale value if any manufacturer. On a bit longer timescale, Nissan Leaf was the first affordable, practical EV but a decade later its range is unacceptable and its batteries don’t last well enough

        Dam, good points. I was looking at a leaf but ya 100k miles and the battery is done is kinda bullshit and not worth more than 5k new imo.
