Need some help deciding which EV to buy SUV or station wagon as far as vehicle type goes, need a bigger car this time and would like to ask for some tips on which are reliable and as a secondary parameter good range or battery capacity, features and esthetics are not important also i'm in Germany and how best to approach buying a used EV, any tips are appreciated.

Most cars will show you battery capacity remaining.

I would look at an Ioniq 5, because they had an ICCU issue but they extended the warranty to 15 years and 290,000kms. It's actually a large car.

Was already looking at some near me, they look good.

The ioniq 5 was iirc the only ev that was as unreliable as ICEs in the ADAC statistics: https://www.adac.de/rund-ums-fahrzeug/autokatalog/marken-modelle/hyundai/ioniq-5/?filter=NONE

Large car

It's hatchback with a raised roofline. It's smaller than most station wagons.
