Edmunds Lists Four Best Used Electric SUVs Under $25,000

Edmunds has named the four best used electric SUVs for buyers with a budget of about $25,000. As more EVs enter the used car market, the growing supply has made electric SUVs more accessible to shoppers who do not want to spend new-car money. Buyers at that budget can now find newer electric SUVs that offer gas-free driving without the high price tags attached to many new electric vehicles. The main challenge, according to the reporting, is working out which of these used models are actually worth buying.

Left-leaning coverage, led by The Washington Post, centers on affordability: its excerpt says the growing supply of used EVs makes electric SUVs accessible to shoppers who do not want to spend new-car money. Alternative and independent coverage, led by AP, uses the same Edmunds headline but stresses the benefits of gas-free motoring without the eye-watering price tags of many new EVs, and highlights the challenge of identifying which models are actually good. Both sides agree on the Edmunds list and the roughly $25,000 budget; they differ in emphasis, with the left stressing access and AP stressing the buying challenge. The right-leaning outlet in this set, Newsmax, does not cover the Edmunds list in its article. Its piece covers a different story: General Motors plans to offer hybrid versions of its three-row SUVs, a strategic shift after heavy investment in electric vehicles, according to people familiar with the matter.
