Depends on the market. There are much more affordable EVs in Europe that aren’t sold in North America. Like the VW ID.2 and the Renault EV 5 and similar Skoda EVs.
Kia used to sell a reasonably priced EV Soul, but they quit making it and now they sell the EV3 for over $10k more. Same scenario with GM and the Bolt.
I will be interested to see how much GM will charge for their updated Bolt when it ships. In the meantime you’re probably better off buying a used 2021 or later EV if you want affordable in North America.
Ah for sure, I was only thinking about the US market with my comment. I would’ve loved the Soul EV if it was available. I owned the gas version and it was very roomy for such a compact car. Either way, it would be good for Toyota to release a more “affordable” EV as I would trust their reliability more than GM and Hyundai/Kia.
