Which electric car should I choose under €35,000?

Are you more interested in range or everyday practicality? It depends on what you usually do, but in that price range you'll find several solid options: the Tesla Model 3 is still competitive if you find a recent used one, while among new cars the Volkswagen ID.3 and Renault 5 E-Tech offer a good balance between interior space and range without going overboard. If you want something more compact and easier to maneuver in the city, the Fiat 600e is also a good choice.

I've seen people switch from gas cars to electric, and the real problem is almost never the price - it's figuring out what you actually need. If you're doing short trips and charging at home, even a smaller battery works fine. Under 35k you've got plenty of options, but watch out because some have claimed ranges that drop like a rock in winter, so take those specs with a grain of salt. If fast charging is critical for you, think it through carefully before you sign anything, because it depends on the model and where you can actually charge.

Before you jump into picking a model, check carefully whether there are decent public charging stations in your area and how often you'd be charging outside your home per month, because that changes everything in your choice. If the answers are "few charging stations" and "often," under 35,000 euros the best compromise is probably one with a range around 400-450 km, otherwise you risk stressing yourself out over every slightly longer trip.
