Anyone here on a 2nd hand EV? What has the buying/ ownership experience been like so far? (lemmy.world)

Anything, really. But of particular interest is how the range holds up from the original stated, powertrain degradation if any, and other general stuff like fit and finish, electronic gremlins, weather effects etc. Thanks in advance!

I'm second owner of a 2016 Kia Soul EV. I have no complaints. The heating system was DOA but the dealership had it fixed. That's the one thing with heat pump vehicles, make sure that system works or you'll have a potentially expensive fix on your hands.

I asked for a batter state of health reading, they took it to Kia to have that done, no big deal.

It’s ridiculous that Kia doesn’t sell a modern Kia Soul EV in the US.

Do they really need a second CUV EV along with the Niro?
