The problem is, Tesla's are the only electric car that makes sense to buy, although VW's ID4 is a really good car as well. The BMW and Mercedes-Benz electric versions are stupid expensive, with inferior technical specifications, the range, the power and the price point are all missing the mark.

Why pay 50k Euros for a BMW/Mercedes with 350km range, while you can get a model 3 with 500km range for 42k (or the long range one with 600km range for 50k instead)?

VW's ID4 is the only one that can keep up with Tesla in price/performance ratio, while having good range.

Hyundai seems to be doing pretty well with the Ioniq 5, and the Kia EV6 looks interesting. On a price/performance scale I would definitely rate the Honda E as well as a very nice 'good enough' electric car that's significantly cheaper than a Tesla.
