EVs are still vehicles that are owned. Regarding Dacia, they have an EV, the Spring, which starts at 20k euros (without counting in a 5k "eco bonus", so around 15k), meanwhile their cheapest other car is the smaller Sandero at 12k. 12k/15k isn't a massive difference over the lifetime of a vehicle.

I see Sandero at 11300€ and Spring 22750€. “Eco Bonus” is 4500€ and is being phased out. Personally I will have luxury car afterwards too. But I know enough less fortunate people still driving VW Golfs from 2002, 2005. They will have hard time. They are not interested in crazy expensive cars with 120 km winter range.

  The fact that all new cars will be electric doesn't magically prevent 2002 Golfs from functioning.

    If anything, it'll turn them into valuable collectors' items.

    The problem is that Germany isn’t California. There is winter and roads are covered in salt. And old cars rust through and are not road worthy after few welding sessions anymore.

What country does have that "eco bonus"?

  Germany had last year 6000€ and this year it’s shrunk to 4500€.

You are comparing to different segments. Sandero is 36 cm longer, 27 cm wider, 2 cm taller, and has 28L more of the trunk. So the difference will be even bigger. For 20k you get Jogger, which is a wagon, even more space, and it can be a 7-seater. And also real life range of Dacia Spring is around 160 km. So that is very little for 20k .€ Talking about Sandero, comparable in size Renault ZOE starts at 37k €
