Hello folks. I want to do a video for you on some good long range used electric cars. Um people often focus on the really cheap stuff you can get and I've done that in the past, but lots of people want long range. I think a lot of people want that comfort blanket and um once you've got an EV, it's perhaps not as much of an issue as you think it might be. Not for a lot of people in any case, but in any case, we're looking at cars here around about 300 miles of range or above. Um, all of these should have probably below 80,000 miles on them. And, um, we are looking at cars that I think represent decent value for money. Some of these will be available way under 20 grand, by the way, and some you'll be pushing that 20 grand to get a really nice example. And, uh, I just want to give a quick shout out to 3W floor mats for sponsoring this video. We're going to start off with the Tesla Model 3 Longrange. It's the absolute obvious one, and um, that's why I think I should mention it first. Uh specifically I'm going to look at the 2019 to 2020 because there are some real bargains available there. 348 mi of range I think on the longrange one. Um and really I think it's probably the the Model 3 is probably still the best all round electric car you can get particularly from this era like 2019 to 2020. I think it was streets ahead at that point. There's a lot more competition around now. Um, but I think uh the 2019 2020 model was way ahead of the pack and it's still right up there. So, here's an example of the more budget end of the longrange Tesla. So, this one's a 2020 model. 70,000 mi on the clock, 14 grand, you can get one of those, which I don't think is too bad at all. And if you did want to go for the newer 2021 model, um, this one looks like amazing value. This actually a 2022 car, 70,000 mi on it, 17 grand. Um, but is a fair bit cheaper than everything else at the moment on Auto Trader. Um, so well worth keeping in mind. It's exceptional value at that money, I have to say. It's got long range, it's got fast charging, it's got amazing technology, the software just works brilliantly well. The way it integrates with the satnav, with the supercharging network, all these things are great positives. And for me, a huge one is the app. The Tesla app is just pretty much flawless. It's rock solid. You use it as your key, so you don't have to carry too much around. You've just got your phone that acts as your key. You can send satnav locations to the car. You can get the car to chill to the right temperature or heat up to the correct temperature, defrost before you leave the house or when you're returning to the car, you can have it at the perfect temp temperature when you arrive. You can schedule all that sort of stuff so it's ready for you to go to work every day. Um, but the the best thing about it is it's just rock solid. It never fails. I've never had it fail. And I've got two Teslas. I'm not a complete Tesla fanboy, by the way, so I can tell you all the bad things about Tesla and all the good points, and there are both. Um, but for me, the good far outweighs the bad. And when you compare it to some of the other stuff available for this kind of price range, I just think it still sits that little bit above um in many respects. Anyway, um if you again that 2021's probably the ideal one to go for. Um the build quality is a bit better. You've got heat pump as standard. Uh they've got rid of the chrome on that one. It looks a bit more modern. They got rid of a lot a lot of the chrome. Um so if you can push that, great. But if you want to get into a Tesla for really cheap money, then maybe look at the 2019 to 2020 version. Folks, when it comes to looking after your pride and joy, you should really think about investing in some truly great car mats. Today's video is sponsored by 3W Floor Mats, and they've got an exceptional Prime Day offer for you. In fact, they've got two. 3W Floor Mats use 3D scanning to make sure that their mats are an absolute perfect fit for your car. That means you're not getting things caught down the sides. It really is protecting the under floor. They can also be rinsed off in about 10 seconds. An absolute dodle to clean. And if you want, you can add this luxurious yet still rugged and easy to clean carpet to the mats, which just gives them a bit more of a luxurious feel under foot. You'll also find with a lot of car mats, there's the really horrible, unpleasant sort of rubbery synthetic smell, and that takes a week or two to clear, and you get hit by that smell every time you jump into the car. That's not the case with these 3W mats. They're completely odor-free and you're not going to breathe in anything harmful from them. And to celebrate Amazon Prime Day, they've also got two fantastic offers available for you. If you go on to the 3W website itself between the July the 1st and July the 15th, use the code 20 not aguru. You'll get 20% off all the prices on that website, giving you money off your choice of 3W floor mat. And also to celebrate Amazon Prime Day, which runs between July the 8th and the 11th, use the code appearing on the screen and in the video description at checkout on Amazon to save yourself up to £56 of 3W products. Thanks to 3W for sponsoring today's video. I use the mats in both of my Teslas and I'm absolutely delighted with them. Right, this one is a bit of a cheap because it's not under 20 grand at the moment, although I have seen one literally a couple of days ago for 20 grand um or 20,300, something like that. But it's the BMW i4. It's an absolutely brilliant car. It's got fantastic range. I'm just going to give you the numbers on it quickly. This is a one 2022 car, 77,000 miles on it, so for its age, it's got high mileage. Um, but I would just get a battery check done on this, a state of health check. If everything checks out, I'd have no worries about this whatsoever. 364 miles. Um, 062 in 5.6 seconds. That could serve you very well. It's really smart looking thing. They're great to drive. 22 1/2 grand for that car. Looks like a bargain to me. Next one is the Hyundai Kona Electric. So many people have bought Kona Electric on the back of my advice. They've often wanted something that's a tiny bit more SUV like than the Model 3. They've often not wanted the minimalism of the Model 3. Um, but they still want a decent range. And I think the Kona is one of the best value for money used electric cars you can get. If you went up to the top end of that 20 grand budget, there really is plenty of choice for you. Um, another sort of closely related cousin uh is the Kia Nero EV. Both great cars, both great options. They're sitting on essentially the same platform and will do essentially the same job for you. So, very much worth a look at those. Also, don't disregard the Kia Soul EV Max. It looks like Postman Pat's van. It's mega mega quirky, which for some people's a positive and for a lot of people is a big negative, but the range is really good on those. And they have the best sound system I think I've probably ever heard in a a car, certainly in a car in its class. absolutely bonkers. So, for the Kona, you can now get one of these for under 10 grand. 73,000 miles on it, 10 grand, 279 miles of range. Uh, for the Nero, you're looking at 11 grand for a 2022 plate, albeit with 75,000 mi. With all these things, I'm showing you sort of reasonably high mileage examples, I guess, but of course, you could drop down if it bothers you, get a lower mileage example for a bit more money. Um, but with a lot of these EVs, the batteries and motors will go on for quite a long time, and you don't have to worry about the dreaded 100,000 like you might in a petrol or diesel car in general terms. Anyway, um, this one's the twospec, £11,000, £75,000 mi, 2022 car. Uh, and the range on that one's 282. But if that looks just too plain for you and you want to go for the newer one, look what you can get for 18 grand. 23 plates, the new model, 26,000 miles. Again, it's two trim level. Um 6 285 miles of range, 26,000 miles, £17,950. And as for that Kia Soul, um 71,000 mi, 20 plate, 11 grand, all by the shouting, and if you can live with the quirky looks, it might actually be a great choice for you. Folks, just a very quick reminder to subscribe to the channel if you haven't already done so. Thanks. Next, we got the Hyundai Ionic 5 rear wheel drive, 73 kWh version. That's the bigger battery. 2021 model, 315 mi of range roughly. Um, they're roomy, very modern, excellent fast charging. You've got the 800vt architecture. So on a really fast charger, not only are they capable of really high maximum charging speeds, if you like, but the charge curve is fantastic. So it will stay at a a a good speed for a long period of time where in a lot of EVs, they'll reach that maximum spike, but then they'll drop again and they'll sort of start to tail off. Um, the Hyundai 800 volt architecture, I think, about as good as anything else on the market at the moment, and it's been around for a while, which is nice. Um, bad things I guess on the Ioni 5. Some people say it's got a soft ride. I don't think it has. Some people say tech glitches. I've never really found too many glitches with it. Um, but lots of um, those glitches I think have been resolved over the years with updates and things. I've only ever had the press cars and usually they're completely updated and all up together as you would expect. On five. Um, these are now regularly 20 grand or just below. Um, I've certainly seen lots for just under 20 grand, but this is a really low mileage one at 28,000 mi on a 23 plate. It's premium trim. £20,850 for this particular one. Uh, £315 mi of range is claimed. Oneowner car that looks like a really good example for that kind of money. The VW ID3 may seem like an odd one because for a lot of people it was a little bit of a let down when it came out. They wanted the all-electric Golf and it just felt a bit rushed. Um there were lots of software bugs and things. Luckily, lots of those have now been ironed out with um updates. So hopefully it's now a lot less quirky in the tech department than it used to be. But the one I would go for is the Pros. So that's got the 77 kWh battery. Um 336 miles of range. They're efficient. They're good to drive. Good boot space. and the later model should have a lot of those bugs taken out essentially, but if not, make sure it's all been updated and is really up together. VW3s are available at loads of budgets now. Uh we're looking more at the low end here, but you can get a newer, lower mileage car for well under 20 grand still. 13,295 gets you a 21 plate with 75,000 miles on it. It's the Pro S, which is important, the 77 kWh because that's the one with the more range. Obviously, if you want more range, this video is about cars with um longer range, but maybe you don't need it. 338 mi is the claimed range on that one. Tesla Model S, the 75 or 85. So, this is the oldest car we're looking at. So, 2015 to 2016. Again, loads of high mileage versions of this that still have plenty of battery life left in them. Um, so I wouldn't be too scared by that. Um, really high performance, nice and luxurious, loads of practicality. Now, there are two different driver information systems in these cars. The MC1 was the original one, and by all accounts, that's got some bugs and stuff, but some of them have had the upgrade to the MC2. So, if you find a car that's had the upgrade, you're on to a bit of a winner with that, really. Um, the Model S as well is a surprisingly large car. You can get three adults in the back and loads of luggage uh and amazing performance in in most of them to be fair. Um so definitely one to consider. Pulstar 2 long range is well worth a look if you go for the single motor. Well over 300 miles of range, clean scandi design. Um sound reliability, excellent Android based infotainment system. Um, it's a little bit pants if you want to use Apple CarPlay because it's about that big on the screen, but otherwise it's just a really decent system. It's a lovely car to drive. The build quality feels exceptionally good in my opinion on the Polestar 2s and the dash sort of wraps around you a bit feeling like a bit of a cockpit. Some people find it tiny bit claustro claustrophobic, especially if they're very tall, but I think they feel absolutely great. And I I love the Polestar 2. Just look at how these have come down in price. At 67 12,000 mi, 2021 plate car, 16 grand, 16,300, 341 mi of range, and it is a fantastic car, the Polestar 2. It really is. The Ford Mustang Macke. This is the extended range version. Rear wheel drive 2021. Uh, 379 mi of range. Um, it looks okay, I think. Bit different. I don't know why they put a Mustang badge on it. That was a sort of a misstep as far as I'm concerned, but Ford are quite good at putting the wrong badge on cars. Capri, huge range, great practicality, all that kind of good stuff going on. I drove an early version of this and hated it because the accelerator pedal felt like an onoff switch. like the way the regen was working, it again felt like it'd been rushed out, which at the time when EV started to take off a bit. A lot of manufacturers did because they arrived late to the party. They didn't think it was going to happen perhaps and um then perhaps rushed a product out, but a lot of the early software gremlins on the Mackie have been resolved with updates. So, just make sure it's got all the latest updates if you get get yourself one. and if it hasn't, get them to get it updated for you before you take it away because it will make a big difference in terms of your quality of life in my personal opinion. So, this one's the extended range Mustang Macke, which gives you 335 mi of range, or that's what's claimed, 19 grand, 21 plate with 72,000 mi on it. And then finally, we've got the Scoda Enyak 2021, the IV80. Um, I think the Enyak's one of the most practical family EVs that you can lay your hands on. Um, over 330 mi of range, roomy, comfortable, wellb built. Again, it's got some of those VW Audi group software glitches that are in that sort of generation of infotainment system. So, it's just a case of making sure that they've been um properly dealt with and hopefully you'll live a long and happy life with it because I think it's a very good car and I personally prefer the Nyak over the VW versions, the ID4 and the ID5 for example. um partic well speaking of the 2021 models anyway I must admit I haven't been in a a more recent ID4 ID5 and they may have improved but if we go back to this era I think the Aniac just felt a little bit better all around it's quite striking looking car as well particularly if you go for one of the higher trim levels not everyone's going to be in love with the way it looks but everyone's going to look at it and think oh because it doesn't just look like another genero box 332 mi of range claimed on this One as well is the Scoda Enyak 80 Eco Suite automatic. 67,763 mi 2021 plate. Just over 16 1.5 grand uh for a car that should serve you very well for quite a long time. I hope you've enjoyed that one, folks. Please don't forget to subscribe to the channel.
