Only VW is offering value for money product in the list with the range and quality materials the icing on the cake is it's primarily rear wheel drive and also available as AWD maybe as some experts pointed out in their reviews that VW wants to wash the blot of Diesel gate so they are offering the ID 3 at such an attractive and somewhat unbelievable unbeatable price point alas blessing in disguise for us, go VW go, literally.
It would be nice to have PSA and more EV models to come here to the US, and not just the expensive ones.
Where can we buy an eV at those prices,?. Because…….
When You by at the Dealer,,,,
They have Then Up to 50% More Expensive
Please make a video with the cheapest electric cars in the USA
About $10,000. Then you could say it`s affordable a straight face. The last new car I bought was in 1979 a V8 Mustang for $6200
$30,000 is affordable? Not for me.
I think your price is wrong with Renault K-ZE. You show it has $8,700.
Better pay extra and get a $35,000 Tesla than these crappy golf carts!!!
The affordable electric car market segment seems to be the most underrepresented, which seems unfair considering the consumer demand for this type of vehicles. Today we are looking at the cheapest EV models to decide whether the manufacturers have finally heard us and started producing vehicles that are actually affordable. Which ones did you like the most?
