Only really true in the United States. On the global market, some of the cheapest cars in the world are EVs. The Chang Li micro-EV with air conditioning and solar charging can be purchased for as little as $2k. The compact BYD Seagull sells for around $10k
Problem is... it's illegal to import these vehicles to the United States, thanks to protectionist policies championed by our "business friendly" Congress and China-hostile State Department.
