We got a ford focus electric it looks nicer than the frog face leaf and is zippy to. Almost like new was $16k and it works great as a local second car. But the range is really low, you can’t go more than 25-30 miles away from home. Still, we love it for what it is and does.

25-30 mile range is getting down to the point where a ~1500 e-bike would be almost as practical, unless you've got kids.
Or you live in a place with, you know, weather.
$14k buys a lot of hot cocoa
$16k on a small vehicle that can't take you more than 30 miles from home... yikes.
