    No the cheapest electric are not available PT for some reason?
    The cheapest currently is the Citroen C3 electric at 140.000,- DKK.
    But then you get 3 times the range, a proper 4 seater, proper engine of 113 HP. and with 135 km/h the capability to actually drive the allowed speed on out highest speed roads. And it can charge at 11 kWh on a homecharger or 100 kWh on a fast charger.
    And it actually has proper doors! And proper heater, and way way better safety.
    The BYD Dolphin Surf is the same price, and has a top speed of 150 km/h.

    There is simply no comparison between the real cars and the Fiat Topolino or Ami 1 they are nothing more than a moped that requires a drivers license here. I think the only difference from one that doesn’t require a license is that they are very slightly wider. I must admit I’m surprised these can even be legally registered as cars? They lack several safety features that are mandatory for cars.

    At half the price they would be cool, they are probably fun to drive, if the weather isn’t bad.

      99 000 vs 140 000 is quite the difference. And this isn’t even the cheapest microcar, not even the cheapest 4-wheeled microcar (e.g. Opel Rocks-E starts at 8400€ in Germany).

      they are nothing more than a moped that requires a drivers license here

      In Germany, even a Fiat Topolino can be driven with a moped license.

        The Citroen C3 electric and the BYD Dolphin are the cheapest electric I could find here in Denmark. But unfortunately we don’t have good charts for that for some reason, so there may exist cheaper options.
        But the Fiat 500 is nolonger available, the same with Dacia that also made a cheap EV, and Seat made the MII I think it was called, which is also nolonger available.

        The Opel you refer to is also Stelantis, the exact same concept as both Ami and Toppolino. The difference may be that Opel is traditionally a German made brand.
        Kind of like Vauxhall are cheaper in UK than the same car under the Opel Brand.

        If these were availbale here for 8400€ it would be a completely different story, and there is little reason why they should be more expensive here, AFAIK there is no tax apart from sales tax on these small “microcars” or even a small normal car when it’s an EV.
