Used Electric Family Cars for Sale

Buying a used electric car is a great option for a family, as second-hand models tend to be significantly cheaper than brand new. Electric cars have been around for a while now, so the used market has grown considerably. You can also claim up to £350 from the government to use towards the cost of installing a charging point at your home. In terms of running costs, you can switch to an EV tariff to ensure you pay as little as possible to charge at home, while charging in public will still typically cost less than filling up with petrol.

You have plenty of options when it comes to 7-seater electric cars. The Kia EV9 is incredibly practical and comes with loads of tech as standard, while the pricier Mercedes EQS SUV boasts a range of over 400 miles and supreme luxury. The spacious Tesla Model X is another popular choice.

Tesla is king when it comes to electric cars and huge boots. According to the manufacturer, the Model X has over 1,000 litres of storage space and the Model Y has 854 litres – that's across both the typical rear boot and the under the bonnet storage where the engine would normally be.

Electric cars meet the same safety standards as petrol and diesel cars, and can even be safer thanks to their structural strength and modern safety technology.

Contrary to popular belief that stemmed from some rare accidents in the early days of electric cars, they’re no more likely to catch fire than a petrol or diesel car following a collision.
