Recommendations for a small used electric second car

Hello!

We need to buy a small, used second car. A little runner basically but would like it to be electric.

We have had one car for a while but husband needs it more for commute these days.

Any recommendations? We have a home charger and range isn’t too important as our main car is electric with good range.

Don’t want to spend too much as it won’t be used a lot.

Thanks!

Renault Zoe look on dealers website, don't forget to haggle. Not too large and reliable and not expensive

No advice but following as we are looking for exactly the same thing, main car is petrol so the second will just be a run around and for one of us to use to commute, we've been down to 1 car floor armour 5 years but change in jobs is making that more difficult now. I know little about electric cars, so don't know if it's better to have a lease battery or a new one, is it worth avoiding anything over say 5 years old etc
