This week's EV bargain that I'm not buying

unkel · 2016-12-23 21:16:53

Might be an interesting thread for people in the market for buying (or selling!) a second hand EV :) Rules: not many. It would be nice for everyone if we stick to the following format. With a pic of the car, a description with asking price and a link to the ad. Fine if it's your own car, but you have to clearly state it is…

High mileage for a 3yr old?

Didn't I read that mileage is irrelevant to an EV? And that age would be more detrimental than miles.

Yes, you did...and that's my understanding also. Check out 'C&C' taxi's in Cornwall and look at the mileage they've clocked up. It's a misconception that mileage is the key consideration in relation to the rate of deterioration of the battery. However, I'm quite happy if some folk retain that view - if I decide to swap out what I have, I'll be able to pick up another bargain :-)

It's really time rather than miles when it comes to LI Ion batteries that matters.

Wasnt it 175k miles on their first leaf taxi, and still running fine?
175k miles is 281k km so I reckon I've got another 200k in my leaf at least! Especially considering the lizard battery in the C+C leaf only lost 1 or 2 bars, it was still useable.

That's a real bargain with the newer battery and 6.6 charger.
It's not the SVE but it looks from the photo of the steering wheel to be the SV + cold pack. Bargain.

Called the guy today, its already sold.:(

I was seriously interested in that.

Thats a weird colour. Never saw that before.

FYI... Its down a capacity bar, to be expected on a 2011 with 100k km on it I suppose!

It's down a capacity bar but it's super cheap.
Was looking at it as a second car but have decided not to go ahead with that now.

I wonder if there's some sort of filter on the camera. I'd say it should be the "standard" metallic blue.

Yeah, she's down a bar. But as a second car/workhorse for anyone doing less than 70kms per day, she's ideal. Doubt she'll last long.

Sorry, we picked this up on Wednesday. Absolutely loving it. Took it to a wedding in Cavan at the weekend and found it easy to manage with a a quick charge in navan on the way up and one on the way back. Didn't get anything off the price, didn't particularly push for it either though, he'd already knocked a bit off it to get interest up

Ioniq for under GBP 20k. Cheapest I've seen by far. You could have it landed for a bit over EUR23k

New Chargemaster 16a type 2 unthethered charger.

Looking for £150 posted.

With the current STG rate, this could be a good buy for someone.

Can someone explain how long this would take to charge a 3.3 and a 6.6 Leaf?

same speed for both because it's a 16a/3.3 cable.

Approx 8 hours from empty to full, maybe extending to 10 hours if cells very unbalanced.

Do the blue lights remain on when it's balancing?

Yes, as it's still part of the charging.
I've seen my (6.6) leaf at a 6.6 post for over 2 hours at 100% before, when I had not charged to full for a long time.

Visually the car looks as if it's charging on the third bar.

For future proofing yes. But if you Int have a 3.3 Leaf then it's of no use. At this cost though I would have bought only for I bought a unit for €200 2 weeks ago.

Could they have missed 1 before the 5 I wonder? Never seen one that cheap, I'd be delighted if I could pick one up that low.

Maybe there is a problem with it (crashed?). Poor pictures and wrong orientation.

My first impression were: "a click bait"...

Nevertheless, it is a UK import.

Deffo. It, it's a Gen 1 model so it's on the ball park of its current value.
I'd say it's about 1-2k cheaper than it could be, but the owner probably wants a quick sale, he may have got a trade in price and wants to sell to get a better cash price.
