Any electric cars for under €7,000?
Which full electric car for under €5k-€7k. Has to be a 4 door as we have two children. It will be the "second" car. We have two diesel cars one is getting very old and high mileage. the daily commute is 30km each way, so it will need a range of 70km-ish. Or maybe a PHEV
Our answer:
Hi Denis,
With that modest budget, you only really have one choice – the first-generation Nissan Leaf, built from 2010 to 2017. Realistically, for up to €7,000, you’ll be looking at a very early one, say from 2011 or so, and its battery range may not be as good as it once was, as electric cars’ batteries deteriorate over time. However, you should still get a decent one with the range (70km) on it you require.
