I’m looking at a blue 2023 Kia Niro EV Wave for about $24k.

I drive around 15k miles/year and would mostly charge at home. Priorities are reliability, low maintenance, comfortable family use, and keeping it for quite a while.

For those who own a 2023+ Niro EV:

• How has reliability been?
• Any significant battery degradation?
• Anything expensive or annoying showing up as these cars age?
• Would you buy one again?
• Does ~$23–24k seem reasonable today?... or wait til the fall???

1st EV, wanting to get a little something with a kick. daily driver, probably 20 miles per day max.

anything i should be concerned about? avoid 2021 model years?
