Electric cars have always been significantly more expensive than their fossil-fuelled counterparts.

Many buyers have felt “priced out’ of electric car ownership for the first decade of the EV revolution.

Now there’s no excuse. Anyone in the market for a new car can afford the 15,000 Spring .

In China , thanks to meaningful subsidies, electric cars can be bought for less than 10,000 .

New regulations have forced charging operators to allow drivers to pay for their charge using their bank cards.

It isn’t perfect yet, but it’s an enormous improvement over the obtuse software and unclear payment systems.

Combined with the remarkably low price of the Dacia Spring and the Chinese -built electric runarounds that will soon follow.
