    I don’t know why people are saying a 200km range is bad. Most people I know don’t drive more than 25km to work per day. Surely even 100km is perfectly fine for a daily driver.

    My brother had an 80km range car for years and was perfectly fine.

    Is it just that it’s not competitive at this price?

      Because propaganda has convinced people that a car is useless if it can’t go 300+mi AND only take a few minutes to be ready to do it again. Range anxiety, even though they only fill up maybe once a week and could easily charge an ev at home with just a standard outlet not even a special charger and keep up with their actual real daily use

      I don’t own any car but I would not buy anything below 300 km advertised range.

      It’s not that I drive more than that in a single trip often but I can’t charge at home or work and it would be annoying using a public charger more than once a week.

      Sure fast chargers exist but they are way to expensive for everyday use

      Exactly, most people just go to work, Kaufland and to visit grandma who most of the time is 100km away. You’re not buying a Dacia Spring to go from Lisbon to Oslo, you’re buying it as a car for daily use.

        Thank you for considering Lisbon in your thoughts. It’s very appreciated.
