Thinking of buying a used EV cheap for a delivery car that stays in the warehouse so employees can use it for errands or visiting customers.
All can be had for under $7000 cash with low miles (<36,000) due to lease returns.
Some of the medical devices can be 6' long, but are light and narrow.
We normally service up to 68 miles round trip. In the very rare cases that it's further, or the parts require forklift loading, we have shop pickup. But a 68 mile EV would do 99 out of 100 part runs or errands.
If you own a 2013/2014 500e, Spark EV, or Leaf, tell me if there are some things I should look for. What is the charging rate? Do they struggle to meet EPA range? Are 6' x 3" dia tubes hard to carry? Etc?
EDIT - We had 2 delivery trucks and sold 1 of them, with the intention of replacing it with a small cheap EV that fits in the warehouse easier.
