@kevinrns I'm in the UK. I want to buy an EV, but the prices are ridiculous, and most companies offer either leasing (paying, but never owning a car) or buying at exorbitant interest rates.
The cheapest VW ID.3 is £31k. £4,629 customer deposit, 47 payments of £315, final payment of £8,676. Total price £32,600.
Base model cars should not cost £33k.
Or, I could go for something like a base Hyundai Inster that looks like you're driving something a child drew at primary school. £24k. Ridiculous.
This seems to be a much cheaper list than that. Good luck.
Six under 19,000. Four more under 22,000
