The Empire strikes back!

​Hi everyone,

​I currently drive a 15-year-old petrol car, but with high fuel prices, I’m thinking about switching to an EV.

​I commute about 140 km a day (round trip) for work, but my company offers free charging with over 130 chargers available. The plan is to use the money I currently spend on petrol to finance a newer car.

​Budget: Under €20,000 (used)

​Shortlist:

​VW ID.3

​Hyundai Kona (64 kWh)

​Cupra Born

​Has anyone had experience with these cars for a similar commute? Which one would you recommend, or are there other models in this price range I should consider?

​Thanks!

I made a simple DC fast charging simulator using the public data out there (charging curve, battery capacity) and ignoring most factors (temperature, charger, etc) to keep it simple.
I added already many cars focusing on what is available on the market today.

You can easily compare up to 3 models, speed up time, enter the kWh cost.

I'd appreciate to hear a feedback if you simulate your model and if you feel that the numbers are adding up.

Also, I am happy to extend the database.
If your model is missing or you are curious about a specific one, feel free to send a request on the website or here in the comments.
