You totally can get an EV for those sort of prices on the used market, e.g. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-search?body-type=&channel=c...

No need to worry about cam belts or oil changes or spark plugs or mice eating your air filter or petrol going stale in the tank or replacing fuel filters or 12v batteries going flat if you don't drive them for at least 20 mins once every 10 days etc.

Used car market in the Eurozone is a lot worse(expensive) than in UK.

Most good electric bicycles I saw cost more than 2,8K. You're not getting a suable EV for that where I live.
