Car financing: the 1998 Honda EV Plus
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1998 Honda EV Plus for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page helps you judge the 1998 Honda EV Plus before you buy one anywhere.
Before you sign for the EV Plus
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the specs mean
Power: the electric motor. It is fully electric: no gas at all, and you return it with the charge it had at pickup.
Energy use is rated at 44.1 kWh/100 km, about 132 kWh for 300 km. On paper it goes 130 km between charges, less in winter. In energy, every 100 km costs about $6.62 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$1,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Size and space
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway.
Best uses
It suits people who want to try an electric car before buying one. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Rent it for a week first
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Charging at home usually costs less than public fast charging. The EPA estimates US$1,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Choosing the right one
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
