Hello,
First post here, been reading incognito for quite some time though.
I am located in Greece, where all three Mitsubishi/Peugeot/Citroen do not import the EV as new. Funny thing is, they have whole sections on all their websites regarding their "revolutionary" EV technology, but they seem they don't even know of the existence of their EV models on other European countries. I got a really strange feeling while trying to talk over the phone with them, one of them also told me that EVs in general do not exist and that they are "fake news"!
Bottom line is, I am interested in getting a used iMiEV/iOn/cZero from the local used market, or even from abroad. I want the vehicle for daily city commute, around 50km each day. Our ICEs are starting to fall apart, due to the fact that most trips are very short (under 10 minutes) and their engines don't even have the chance to reach proper working temperature, which results in very high consumption (we are feeding €150-€200 per month for gas).
Does anyone has any hints on how difficult owning a small EV would be in a country that supposedly doesn't offer any official support? Or should I wait for a couple of more years until Tesla officially sells in Greece, in which case everybody else will hurry to the same direction as well?
