Affordable EV Revolution: Five Smashing Small Electric Cars for Frugal Shoppers
Hey there! Ever thought electric cars were a luxury only the wealthy could afford? Well, buckle up, my friend, because the EV industry is about to get budget-friendly! Here's a lowdown on the top five small electric vehicles you can grab for under €20,000.
The Chinese are leading the pack, and BYD is spearheading the charge with the Dolphin Surf. This little powerhouse is poised to be a game-changer, boasting a grown-up electric car experience without breaking the bank. With a length of four meters and a wheelbase of 2.50 meters, it provides ample space for four adults and their luggage. It also cruises up to 150 km/h, offers bidirectional charging, and features a range of more than 500km on a single charge (in theory, that is!). But remember, the introductory price of €19,990 is a limited-time offer, and after that, you'll be looking at €22,990.
Still waiting for that Volkswagen comeback? The Lower Saxonians haven't forgotten their promise of affordable electric mobility. Presented as the ID.Every1, this compact four-seater is set to be a car for the masses, priced at just €20,000. With a range of at least 250km, it's a challenging contender for the small EV market. But fair warning, it won't be hitting the streets until 2024.
Nostalgia and eco-friendliness go hand-in-hand with the Renault Twingo. Renault is bringing back this successful city flyer as an electric vehicle, aiming to crack the €20,000 mark. Though the confirmed range of 300km in city driving might not seem impressive, just a peek at the round eyes of this small car should be enough to make everyone embrace frequent charging stops with open arms.
The Dacia Spring is a class act when it comes to eco-friendliness on a budget. With a starting price of €16,900, it sets the benchmark for affordable electric cars. Offering a range of about 230km on the WLTP cycle, it's a spartan yet efficient ride tailored for cost-conscious buyers.
The Enemy in My Bed - The Leapmotor T03 makes its way onto our list thanks to Stellantis' acquired marketing rights from Hangzhou-based Leapmotor. This compact car offers a range of 265km, speeds up to 130km/h, and supports charging at 6.6 or 45kW. With a price tag of €18,900, it's a budget-friendly option among Stellantis' electric compact cars without compromising on quality.
So there you have it! The automotive landscape is about to change, and these five small electric vehicles are leading the charge for a greener (and wallet-friendly) future! Stay tuned for more updates, and remember to keep your eyes on the road (and your heart open to change).

In contrast to the affordable electric vehicles discussed, it seems the Commission has not yet adopted a decision on the granting of aid for the construction of a new railway line. Meanwhile, sports enthusiasts might appreciate the opportunity to engage in their favorite physical activities while reducing carbon emissions, as these new EVs could potentially provide a more eco-friendly transport option for attending sports events.
