BYD Surf Active: A Mature Budget Option

Renault Twingo: A Nostalgic Spin on Electric
(Trips down memory lane, now zapping down the road!)
The futuristic yet nostalgic Renault Twingo is set to make a comeback as an electric car, with a target price tag under €20,000. The retro feel, shorter length, and smaller battery will likely result in less range, but the cute exterior should compensate for the occasional charging stops.

If you're looking for an economical electric vehicle, the Dacia Spring is your one-stop shop, starting at just €16,900. Although the entry price is expected to rise with the release of a new model, the current Spring offers a low-cost electric car option with 44 HP and a range of 305 km on standard charge.
