With inflation getting worse with the war in Iran, people are needing relief. This goes double for those who have to drive everywhere and pay for their own fuel.

With the average price of fuel hitting $4 a gallon and the average new car prices around $50k (America loves SUVs), why not seek cheaper alternatives?

Used electric cars could make a huge impact. When I look at Car Gurus, I often see deals on gently-used, late model EVs. From the Chevy Bolt, to the Kia Niro EV, to the Honda Prologue, you can find prices on used examples for between $10k to $25k. Many of these have battery packs capable of 250 miles or more. With fewer fluid changes, longer intervals between brake jobs, and simple motor designs capable of lasting over 200k miles, it makes financial sense.

I’m currently eying a 2025 Prologue as my next car. Out of curiosity, are you looking at a used EV as your next car?
