    Doesn’t matter if you have to pay 100.000 Euros for such a car and you can get a china one for 35.000… people vote with their wallet and fact is, not many have that much money laying around

      there’s now plenty of European EVs around the €20 000 mark that are good enough, same as the Chinese. There’s going to be plenty of Chinese cars in Europe, same as Japanese or Korean, but this notion peddled by some people that the European brands are going to disappear is just moronic.

        Which ones?

        The one I know is Dacia Spring, which has very little range and 1 NCAP star.

        Others start around 30k.

          The Spring is a rebadged Chinese car. There are no 20k€ electric cars brand new that are built in Europe. Renault plans to sell the cheaper version of the Renault 5 for more.
