Second hand EV? (self.evs)

I've seen a 2018 Hyundai Ioniq Premium SE fairly local and under £14,000 and under 30kiles. I've no idea what to look out for when buying used.

Any advice or thoughts on used ev's? Does mileage mean much. I suppose battery condition would be the main concern?

Used ev owner, literally been a perfect experience. My brother has a 2013 fiat 500e and I have a 2018 fiat 500e. Both of us have had to do tires and some minor 12v battery hiccups. Total repairs (not including people wrecking into us...twice) 0$

Both cars have been hit in the same place (for the same reason...failing to yield) and both cars were repaired in a timely manner and without extra issues.

I've driven 24k in my one year of ownership.

Thanks buddy. That's reassuring to hear. I'll do some more shopping I think.
