MODERATORS
More affordable, but not affordable enough for the average person that can't spend several ten thousand on a car.
I need a new car and by new I mean not brand new, but one with a bigger trunk. I like EVs in general and in a perfect world I would definitely have bought one, but I am living in a city, I don't need the car for driving every day, I need it only for the weekend gateways, to transport my family from A to B and I sure as hell don't want to buy a new car, the cost just doesn't justify its purpose.
Plus here electricity is really expensive and relying on public chargers sucks big time.
Just like, get a roof box? Stack stuff a spare seat if there is one? Or if your city happens to have car sharing, you could rent a car for those few days. I'm lucky enough to have GreenMobility here and a 2 day all-in pack would cost me 145โฌ. They even have small electric vans for moving stuff.
