    There are already affordable EVs in Europe, as an example the Dacia Spring which has the same 230km autonomy and even lower price (18-19.000€ retail final price to consumer in Portugal which has high taxes on new vehicles).

    Not as snazzy looking though, that’s what’s really important! /s

      I doubt the production version will look that snazzy, I bet it’ll end up being much taller and look more like this: 1000004894

          Dacia is a small Romanian brand with a single plant, so learning that some are rebranded Renaults from China is quite surprising.

            It might also surprise you to learn that Dacia is actually a large French conglomerate.

            They’ve been fully owned by Renault for more than two decades.
