A BYD Dolphin with local production and maintenance sounds more affordable than VW id.3 (starting from 33.000€). On the other hand there are Opel Corsa Electric (starting from 30.000€) and Renault 5 (starting from 28.000€) in the same segment. Renault 5 excelling in many aspects and Renault deserves some respect for being early movers/adaptors.

The current market situation (in Germany) is trash..

The Renault 5 is probably the best deal for a new car at the moment. They also have the Renault 4 coming out this year which is slightly larger and in the same price range.

I think the Corsa is more expensive, unless you're comparing older versions.

I just went through the page and picked the most basic electric variant.

If an R4 is bigger than the named cars, it is not interesting. All this bigger EVs and cars are part of the problem, that we cannot have affordable small cars.

Corsa starts at 30.000. First selection is a combustion engine, you need to drill into the configuration to see the electric prices.

I updated my post.
