    Here that gadget is pretty expensive IMO. It’s not really a car with only 45 km/h top speed it can only drive in the city, and 75 km range is as meager as it gets. It’s unsuited for any kind of high speed road, it has absolutely zero in equipment beyond the absolutely most basic. It’s little more than a double bicycle on 4 wheels, and can only take 2 people including driver.

    Here the cheap version which is even without doors is 99.900,- DKK = 13.300,- EUR or $16.500,- USD

    For just 20% extra you can get a real car, a small car but a real car.

      The price is definitely a bit high.

      I bought a lightly (13.5k miles, 21.7k km) used Chevy Bolt with a brand new battery for like $1000 less than that. I get ~100 to ~200 miles of range, depending on how cold it is. It’s not the biggest fan of -10°F (-23°C), but it still gets around 100 miles of range even in that extreme low temperature.

            Yes they do, if you want to save money buy it used.
            Battery technology is still evolving fast, and the competition is cutthroat ATM (except in USA).
            I expect EV prices to keep to decline for at least the next 2 years. And we will get more durable safer cheaper solid state batteries beginning next year.

            But for now I’m sporting a cool VW ID.4, which is an absolute luxury car compared to anything I’ve ever had before. It’s amazingly smooth and quiet to drive, it can take tight curbs like compact, and although it’s not a powerhouse by today’s standards, it feels plenty responsive compared to an normal ICE car.
            I bought it 4 years old for less than half price, and it is as good as new!
            I highly recommend it.

              Around me, 4 year old EVs are teenager cars. You can get a good one for $6000 or less, just o/n charge at 120V.

      I don’t know about Denmark, but here in Italy it’s in the same category of vehicles you can start driving at 16 (AM license), so equivalent to a small motorbike and not a real car.

      Have en dejlig uge og hej fra Italien :) Var min Dansk rigtig?

      The crazy part is that you can buy a similar Chinese microcar in europe for half the price.
