Looking for a used EV for our family and dog.

Looking for first EV for family of five and need a big boot for doggy. Any suggestions? Was looking at used VW ID.4 but salesperson hasn't contacted us back from dealer.

Any rivals?

Hi Sinead,

The ID.4 isn't a bad shout, but like many cars in the same class, its suitability to your family depends on how many kids you have in car seats. It won't easily fit three across the back. The Skoda Enyaq is very similar.

Other used options in the same ballpark include the Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5, but come back to us with your budget so we can try to narrow things down properly.

The challenge might be finding a used EV with enough space for your needs, within budget.
