The German Association Tested Three Affordable Electric Cars Below €30,000.

In Germany, there are currently only three models of electric cars available for up to €30,000: Dacia Spring Electric, Fiat 500 Electric, and Renault Twingo E-Tech Electric. Other models are expected to be released between 2024 and 2025.

The winner of the comparison conducted by the automotive association ADAC was the Fiat 500 Electric. The vehicle offers good safety, even being a compact, and received 4 out of 5 stars in crash tests. The price, however, is a negative point compared to its competitors.

The Renault Twingo E-Tech Electric ranked below the Fiat 500e due to a lack of safety features, according to the ADAC evaluation. The Dacia Spring Electric 65 is praised for its relatively lower price and better range compared to the other two tested models.

The Renault Twingo E-Tech Electric ranked below the Fiat 500e due to a lack of safety features, according to the ADAC evaluation. The Dacia Spring Electric 65 is praised for its relatively lower price and better range in comparison to the other two models tested.

All three models are more suitable for driving in urban areas, considering their limited range. The acquisition costs of an electric vehicle are still considerably higher than equivalent combustion models.

Furthermore, it is worth noting that the VW e-up, planned to be included in the comparison, is sold out due to the discontinuation of production. Currently, there is no forecast for a German electric car to be available for up to €30,000 this year.

Affordable Electric Cars Are Rare in Germany

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

Using high-resolution satellite images, archaeologists rediscovered the Egyptian city of Imet, buried for centuries in the Nile Delta, revealing rare multi-story houses, granaries, and a sacred road linked to the cobra goddess Wadjet, from about 2,400 years ago.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

Motorcyclist sees excavator arriving at the edge of a river in Bosnia, calls neighbors in minutes and turns a hydroelectric project into a resistance lasting more than 10 years with five expired concessions.

A mother who worked as a recycler took money from her own food to put credit on her daughter’s broken-screen cell phone; now Débora has been accepted into medical school at two universities and wants to save hearts in the operating room.

The government opens the budget to pay pensions and ends up targeting precisely the FAB’s Gripen fighter jet; the reason for the R$ 800 million block reveals a fragility that has haunted the country’s defense projects for decades.

A property that once had more than 1,000 hectares now operates with 73 hectares and invests in coffee, cattle, photovoltaic energy, and hydroponic corn to prove that a small farm can also be profitable.

A potato-shaped object over a mountain and orbs multiplying in the sky are among the 72 new files from the Department of Defense that do not prove extraterrestrial life.

Family struggling with the electricity bill at the end of the month finds an air conditioner that consumes little and costs only R$ 21 per month; LG device cools the room 40% faster and also comes with a detail that grabs attention.

Man pays only R$ 17,500 for a 2021 Hyundai Creta at auction, finds SUV covered in mud and with a stalled engine, but discovers the problem was much smaller than everyone imagined.

Cheaper than the JAC T60 Plus: with a 1.5 flex engine, 1.6 option with 138 hp, CVT-type automatic transmission, 360 camera, panoramic sunroof, and 10-inch central unit, this used Chinese SUV tries to convince those looking for a complete package: meet the JAC T40 Plus 2022.
