  1. 1Chevrolet BoltChevrolet BoltChevrolet Bolt EV and Bolt EUV, 2017 to 2023 The battery recall is what makes a used Bolt worth a look. GM recalled every Bolt built through 2022 over a fire risk: 2017 to 2019 cars were set to receive replacement batteries, while 2020 to 2022 cars got diagnostic software that flags the modules…0
  2. 2Tesla Model 3Tesla Model 3Tesla Model 3, 2017 onward The safest default for most used EV shoppers, mainly because of what comes with it. In the US, Tesla's battery and drive unit warranty runs 8 years with at least 70 percent capacity retention, capped at 100,000 miles on the rear-wheel-drive car and 120,000 miles on Long…0
  3. 3Hyundai KonaHyundai KonaHyundai Kona Electric, first generation, 2019 to 2023 A small crossover with a strong battery record, once you account for one recall. In the US, nearly 4,700 2019 and 2020 Kona Electrics were recalled because of cells made at an LG plant in Nanjing, China, and dealers were to replace the whole…0
  4. 4Kia NiroKia NiroKia Niro EV, first generation, 2019 to 2022 The Kona Electric's sensible cousin, with the same basic front-drive powertrain and a liquid-cooled 64 kWh battery rated at about 239 miles, but without the Kona's battery recall. Used buyers get a roomier wagon-shaped body and a pack with a good…0
  5. 5Tesla Model YTesla Model YTesla Model Y, 2020 onward The pick for families who want the Model 3's strengths in a taller body with a hatch. In the US, Long Range and Performance versions carry the same 8-year, 120,000-mile battery and drive unit warranty with a 70 percent capacity floor, the cover follows the car to its…0
  6. 6Hyundai Ioniq 5Hyundai Ioniq 5Hyundai Ioniq 5, 2022 onward The most modern design here at a used price, provided the charging unit has been dealt with. Certain 2022 to 2024 Ioniq 5s were recalled because the integrated charging control unit, or ICCU, can be damaged and stop charging the 12-volt battery, which can lead to a…0
  7. 7Kia EV6Kia EV6Kia EV6, 2022 onward The sportier sibling of the Ioniq 5, built on the same underpinnings, and the better choice if you want a lower, more driver-focused car. It shares the Ioniq 5's one big used-car question: 2022 to 2024 EV6s were recalled over an ICCU that can stop charging the 12-volt battery…0
  8. 8Ford Mustang Mach-EFord Mustang Mach-EFord Mustang Mach-E, 2021 onward A comfortable, well-sorted crossover whose early cars carry one well-known battery fault a buyer can check off. The high-voltage battery main contactors can overheat and cut driving power. Ford first answered with a software update in 2022, then, citing 107…0
  9. 9Volkswagen ID.4Volkswagen ID.4Volkswagen ID.4, 2021 and 2022 model years A roomy, easygoing family crossover, and the early German-built cars are the ones to buy used. Their weak spot is the small 12-volt system rather than the main battery: Volkswagen ran a campaign on 2021 US cars to update the software and replace the…0
  10. 10Nissan LeafNissan LeafNissan Leaf, second generation, ideally the 62 kWh Leaf Plus The cheapest way into a usable EV, as long as you buy it for what it is. The battery is air-cooled rather than liquid-cooled, and some pre-2015 Leafs degraded badly in extreme heat, so target a second-generation car, ideally the Leaf…0
