There are already affordable EVs in Europe, as an example the Dacia Spring which has the same 230km autonomy and even lower price (18-19.000€ retail final price to consumer in Portugal which has high taxes on new vehicles).

Not as snazzy looking though, that's what's really important! /s

I looked up the Dacia Spring and it says, that it's manufactured in China.

The manufacturing county of the world is manufacturing this car?

[–] skeesx@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Dacia is a small Romanian brand with a single plant, so learning that some are rebranded Renaults from China is quite surprising.

[–] Melonpoly@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I see, I guess their single plant can't keep up with demand.

It might also surprise you to learn that Dacia is actually a large French conglomerate.

They've been fully owned by Renault for more than two decades.

I doubt the production version will look that snazzy, I bet it'll end up being much taller and look more like this: 1000004894

This is why I'm more looking forward to the id.2, this actually looks like a good one for the price https://www.volkswagen.nl/modellen/id-2all

They won't stop until even the pedals are touch buttons, are they?

[–] Kualdir@feddit.nl 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I really don't mind it, having driven a Tesla for a year it wasn't bad at all.

[–] herrvogel@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well I drive a heavily touch-screenified car, and I hate it. Have had the damn thing for almost a year but I still get nervous when I have to adjust the A/C.

Understandable, most car companies have garbage software (the Yaris I drive now included). Tesla is just leagues ahead at this point and I hope VW is gonna improve a lot looking at their mockups
