    You can’t get an electric car for 15k that will take four people and their luggage 500km. That would be a tesla model S or X or a Vw ID.7 or a Mercedes GLE, which go for more than 100k.

    Train companies provide substantial reduction in ticket prices for children or families.

    If you want to use a car because you find it more convenient, that’s fine. But be honest about the fact that it is nothing but convenience and don’t try to find lame excuses.

      It is convenient and the whole point of the article is to bring affordable EVs to Europe.

      And you know there are other EVs that exist with decent range that cost a lot less, support fast charging and can transport 4 people along with their luggage easily.

          Could you please start behaving respectfully and stop mocking me. That doesn’t make you look superior, quite the opposite in fact.

          400km+ You don’t need to buy an EV with a 500+ km range to be able to go from A to Z, you can buy something from this list.

          And even if you limit the range to starting from 500km you can still see cars for about 50K: 500km+

            I’m not mocking you, not at all.

            In your 500km link are three cars. Two of them cannot be bought outaide of China and the third on is a French car that will become available in 2024. Its theoretical range is 520, which means the real range is probably around 400, if you use things like AC, radio, and drive above 90 km/h.

            So again, no, you cannot currently buy a cheap electric car with a range of 500km.
