    10 000 € for a new car, not a used one. Anyway, why would I buy an EV that I can’t charge?

    The weekly articles about EVs are annoying if you can’t buy or use one.

    Last but not least, why is your cheapest car a SUV? I want a small car, not a tank like that.

    Edit: I saw that they sell cheaper EV for 7000 € but with 120 km of autonomy. I suspect that these are the first EVs on the market because it’s not usable.

      Lol, wouldn’t 120km be a weeks worth of driving if you only spend 25 euros on petrol per week on average?

      You seem to be looking at reasons why they wouldnt work for you and keep changing your rationale when shown to be wrong.

      That tells me you’ve made your mind up on electric vehicles, not based on facts, but on emotion. Be prepared to get left behind. Your ice vehicle will cost more over time as there is less parts, less mechanics and the fuel cost continues to rise.

        Those numbers do not reflect any kind of reality and feels like science fiction to me. 120 km is dangerous if you don’t have access to a charger. And 25 € per week? Tell me where I can find this cheap oil.

        I’m looking at reasons to change, and so far, I just can’t physically and financially get an EV.

        Once they sell a cheap and small EV with a real battery, I will change.

        cost more over time

        I wish hipsters understood that there is no “over time” for poor people.

          Hipsters, lol. You mean people. I dont own a car. I’ve owned one in my entire life. You only “need” one if you get into habits or a lifestyle that needs one. I suppose that makes me a hipster.

          If I go somewhere public transport doesn’t go, I get a taxi or Uber, or rent a car for an hour or weekend or week. I’m still way better off with less money down.

          So, yes, I know the cost and oppurtunity cost. My point is first you said cost up front, then you changed to range, then you changed to long term cost, then back to short term.

          If you wanted an electric car and knew it would save you long term, you’d make it work, just like you make a car that is thousands of euros work now. Instead, you’re spreading misinformation and pretending it’s by necessity.

          I raised the cost as that was ftom your figures of 10 years petrol. That would equate to approx 123km per week at an average car distance per litee at current French petrol costs.
