used, cheaper than Dacia Spring and no pictures


Used electric cars are led by the Renault Zoé, which has been sold for a long time and is the second most common. We can forget the VW e-Up!, although it is cheap and talented.

Years go by and more and more used electric cars are available. Benefits for those who are convinced by the interests of this energy and who benefit from the environment suitable for its use.. That is, easy access to a charging station at home or at work and a well-balanced experience. More used options automatically mean lower prices. It is no longer rare to find a “zero air charge” around €10,000. And we’re not talking here about the ever-present Renaut Zoé – although it remains a very good choice – or the Dacia Spring. Finally the very first in the field of electric city cars, the Volkswagen e-Up!, whose sales stopped for a while before resuming in 2022, can be easily found.

Small budget

The first copies even start from less than €9,000 and although they are not necessarily recommended, remember that these first generations only had an 18.7 kWh battery. At the moment, freedom allows for little improvement… On the other hand, the 32 kWh variants that appeared later have better storage.. Obviously you have to go a bit above the €10,000 mark but it’s on par with the Dacia Spring for better road performance. Like the quality of the presentation and the finish in the cabin. If less attractive considering its small size (3.75 m), the VW is more pleasing to the eye and also ages better over time.

Good freedom

In addition, the mileage of the advertised models is often very reasonable – about 30,000 km – at the same time, no major technical problem should be frowned upon for this little German. Furthermore, the freedom of this e-Up! they are convincing, with almost 250 km in the city and more than 170 km on the road, all confirmed by us.. This is quite enough for this city car at heart which will also have the advantage of fast recharging thanks to its normal battery capacity.

Used, this Volkswagen is therefore waiting for you. You will easily find among professionals who will therefore be able to offer you new financing for these second-hand to benefit from low monthly payments and very good costs per 100 km for recharging at home..

An automotive journalist for almost 10 years, I really enjoy analyzing the news about this beautiful thing of mobility and freedom. Not forgetting to talk about motorcycles, another digression…
