But you’re not comparing like with like. You’re comparing the price of new EVs with old second hand diesels. Have a look at the second hand EVs available in Finland - I’m sure there’s plenty available.

Though there's now a range of NEW EVs that you can get under £20,000, including Hyundai, Renault, BYD, Fiat, Vauxhall and many others.

Thanks. Probably time to start looking again and see what's what. My monthly long trip, round-trip on one charge, has been my line in the sand.

Does it need to be a round trip on one charge? Looks like there’s lots of chargers across Finland…

the charging at the other end could be challenging, but not insurmountable.

Yes, you are absolutely right! My point is just that I've never spent substantial money on a car, partly bc my partner can fix those ICE cars. So, to push up willingness to spend, it would have to tick all more boxes. I'd want a cold-tolerant EV stationwagon with range at an affordable price.
