The Peugeot e-208 starts at £22k and you can pick up one thats less than 2 years old for about £10k. The idea that there aren't any affordable EVs hasn't been true for years.

From what I can see the lowest cost 208 is petrol - which is ~£23K and the electric models start at ~£30K.

I'm seeing the e-208 start at £29950. The only one that even comes close to 22k is the petrol one at 23.7k.

My dad's regular 208 (new, a few years ago) was <10k euros after they took his old beater

22k is a lot of money

When I search for it I find a starting price at 36,325 € - is it really that much cheaper in the UK?

UK wages are also lower than half~ of western europe, especially when you venture outside of London.

Why would the EU introduce import tariffs then?
