Citroen ec3 was 2x more expensive than ice versionโ€ฆ

European evs are ridiculously expensive in comparison to for example Tesla

Tesla's start at over 30.000 euros! That's not a cheap car by no means!

Plus: there is a huge problem at the top of Tesla. It's not the subject here but I cannot close my eyes on Greenland's fate just for a car. I have the same reservation over Tibet or the Uyghurs for other brands.
