There are a number of EVs available in the $20-40k price range. A majority of them in fact. In the US we have the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Bolt. In Europe the two have a number of other options available as well. The Renault Zoe is like a more affordable Leaf. I'm not sure what the VW eGolf clocks in at over there but it's probably in the neighborhood.
So yeah, just because the Model S is a luxury car, don't make the mistake of assuming all other EVs are too.
Here in the US if you can find a used Nissan Leaf you can get a really good deal.

- mrweasel 9y agoThe Leaf is $40 - 45.000 in Denmark, so that's within range of most I would think, it's just that you can get bigger/better cars for the price. The Bolt isn't available in Denmark, it's under the Opel brand here and Opel won't sell it in Denmark because they priorities countries with an "ambitious policy".
- ebbv 9y agoIf it makes you feel any better, the Bolt was designed here in Michigan and won't be on sale here until later this year because they're targeting California and other markets first.
