It replaced another EV. It had 3,000 miles and was $20K off list. The car has been flawless, no major issues at all.

There's tons of great EVs out there. The ones you mentioned all have good range and decent reviews. The older Niros and Bolts will rapid charge more slowly than something like the Prologue, so take that into consideration if you road trip.

I would probably buy sooner rather than later. I remember the price of used EVs skyrocketed during the pandemic, something similar may happen again with the oil shock.
