The most important part of buying a used EV is to get a battery health report, then check the accident history of the car. I would recommend a station wagon because you have better visibility in it and are least likely to kill a child. I recommend you get an EV with physical buttons. I would say a MG, Peugeot, or BYD (not sure if the Seal station wagon is in Europe). Final tips: if you find an EV with an LFP battery then you can always charge to 100% and if you don't have a way to charge at home then look for fast charging
