If they actually made the base model in any reasonable number this might be inticing. There hundreds on the lots around me but none are under $50k and most are close to $60k. Affordable EV for the masses when?

- The Nissan Leaf would be a great car for the masses if Nissan had given up on their stupid chademo connector years ago. It’s no big deal if you only ever charge at home but otherwise it’s a dealbreaker (unless you live in Japan).
  
  It’s relatively roomy inside, small enough to park, great turning radius, decent but not great acceleration, and very sure-footed handling. It also supports V2H/V2G which is extremely uncommon.

- Exactly. I'm not paying $50k for a regular EV car.

- In mexico they only offer the most expensive trim, they sell it at about 115k usd and it's made here...

I’ve been looking forward to buying an EV for like 10 years… I keep waiting for the balance of price and quality to meet come down out of the stratosphere… prices seem to only go up. I want something in the $30k range, and the quality level that $30k got you 10 years ago.

- I want something in the $30k range,
  
  If you can get your hands on a Chevy Bolt, they are in that price range (After tax credit, they actually start at just under $20k), and pretty nice vehicles in my experience.

  I had a Bolt for four years and loved it. It’s such a shame that it’s been discontinued just so they can focus on trucks that will probably cost double or more.

- Yes, that is how inflation works.
  
  $30k ten years ago is $40k today.

  You would think that advances in technology and manufacturing would at least help to counterbalance that though. There's no way the same processes aren't cheaper than they were a decade ago

- 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.

- I'm in a similar position, and prolly will by a Chevy Bolt, although the Volvo EX30 looks really good too, though a bit pricey at $35K
