minus-squareredfellow@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 months agoVolvo started with the cheap EX30, so this is a logical thing. Most other car makers started with luxury cars and are trying to get cheap ones out.
minus-squareYungOnionslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·5 months agoI mean I wouldn’t call £33,795+ for the EX30 ‘cheap’ and it’s still a SUV. We need more compact hatchback sized vehicles, imo.
minus-squareredfellow@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 months agoWell considering current EV pricing, that’s what it is, in relation to other cars. I agree that we need more 20-25k€ models on the market. I settled on a 57k€ model because at the point where I adopted, there was less good choices around.
minus-squareAngryCommieKender@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 months agoI really wish they would make an EV version of the discontinued Smart Roadster. That thing looked like a miniature Lotus Elise, and the diesel version could get 70 mpg.
minus-squareYungOnionslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 months agoYeah, I thought that thing looked pretty cool to. A EV MX5 might be neat to.
