Battery Bargains is back! It's been some time, but we are back to help you shortcut the search for your perfect electric vehicle. 

In Episode 55, we’re hunting down incredible value in the used market and answering your specific EV buying questions:

The Avalon Successor: What do you buy when your 2004 Toyota Avalon finally reaches the end of the road? We find a "basically new" electric cruiser with 300+ miles of range and ultra-fast charging for under $25,000.

Tesla Software Alternatives: A Mustang Mach-E owner loves their car but misses the Tesla tech. We look at the best software-forward alternatives available for under $30k.

The Kia EV9 "Lemon" Gamble: Used EV9 prices are dropping fast, especially for manufacturer buybacks. We discuss the risks of the ICCU issue, warranty transfers, and whether these "lemons" are actually the best deal on the market.
