New EV vs used EV in 2026 — what would you choose?

With new EV deals getting aggressive (salary sacrifice, 0% finance, discounts) and used prices still falling, it's a genuine question: is a new EV on a good deal actually better value than a 2-3 year old used one?

If you were buying today, new or used — and why? Curious about what swayed people who went both ways recently.

Used, always. Let someone else eat the first 2 years of depreciation. A 2023 MG4 that was £31k new is now £16-17k — that's a huge chunk of value.

Alright mun. I reckon going for a nearly-new Kia EV6 was a tidy shout. To be fair, the 8-year battery warranty gives me peace of mind, especially when I'm dragging it up the valleys to watch the rugby. I charge at home on Intelligent Octopus, so running costs are pennies, though InstaVolt down by Cardiff Bay is handy for top-ups. You lot thinking of buying used, just check the battery health carefully, yeah?
