    Very interesting. I wonder how those manufacturers are planning to make these cars cheaper? Do they just have a smaller battery, or do they go with LFP instead of NMC or NCA?

      Renault has been doing the Zoe at roughly this price point for about a decade already, although there was a monthly lease on the battery so there’s an ongoing cost. I see quite a few of them going around here, though they’re not a huge presence. They’re simple but pleasant on the inside

          Not really. It is clearly a thing of the past, when batteries were expensive and not as reliable as today. Don’t forget that the zoe was released 10 years ago.
