There are already cheap EVs, the made by Wuling is only $5k, 75 mile range and top speed of 62 MPH.

And during normal used car markets like the one we had in 2015, one could find a used Nissan Leaf, not even out of warranty yet, for $12k. That’s what I paid for my first car, 26k miles on the odometer.

Today you’d be lucky to pay that for a Leaf, and if you do it’ll be far more used with far more battery degradation. That’s not a knock against EVs, it’s a product of the car market we have today.
