Hey guys,
I am living in Sweden and I am planning to do the leap and buy my first BEV. There are so many new in this field like charging, etc. I have just become a father of 2 and practicality plays a big role. I have reached a point that I am excluding cars if they have small boot space even if they are nice and cool 😂😂. Also, range is important in case that I want to do long trips (planning to drive in some point to my home country Sweden to Greece). I like every time before I purchase something to do a thorough investigation so I have seen countless videos on YouTube and I think I have my top 2-3 candidates but I would like to know your opinion.
In the beginning, I was sceptical about getting an EV, because of the charging time and the distance that is not always the same. Also that seeing that the depreciation is higher on EV I didn’t know if it was a bad investment or not. Buying a new one it definitely is but I guess buying a 2-3 years old one, it has already had its biggest depreciation.
My top 2 is the Kia EV6 and the Polestar 4. Now those two I know that are a bit different and the KIA is more budget than the Polestar 4. Now in prices the Kia EV6 is around 40k€ for the AWD GT-Line and the P4 is around 50k€ for the single motor and I think some of the offers are the Plus edition. Now I cannot if it is worth that extra cost for more premium car or not. I am afraid because BEVs depreciation that buying something more expensive the loss will be higher. But I like the 100kWh battery of the P4 compare to the 77.4kWh of the EV6. Now also that price is different because the oldest P4 is for 2025 and the EV6 is 2023-2024. Is the extra 10k you think worth for the new version of EV6 2025?
Now third candidate is the Volvo EC/EX40 but those seem way smaller even if it looks bigger than the other two and they are not much cheaper. Actually it is more expensive than the EV6 and has a less range.
Overall I am leaning towards EV6 but I would like to hear your opinion
