I mean… to be fair, you can’t even get a non-EV car that’s $30k and the quality that you got for $30k 10 years ago.
But yeah, it would be nice if there were budget options out there. PHEV’s are a fantastic option for people looking to dip their feet, but they’re just not cheap. The Prius Prime is on paper but you can’t find anyone selling them for less than $5k over MSRP.
Hopefully we’ll get there soon. Been waiting for that cheap EV for ages. But if you can’t actually make huge numbers of them because you’re constrained by battery parts, it doesn’t make sense to build cheap cars.
