This site has a database of EVs for sale in Australia - currently the cheapest is BYD Atto 1 at $23,990. For comparison, the cheapest ICE car to buy new is Kia Picanto Sport manual at $19,190 (Edit: or MG 3 Vibe auto at $20,990 if you can’t drive a manual transmission).
This must be why we only have $45,000+ (60k AUD) EVs available here. Especially since they canceled the tax rebates because they were too woke.

Oh if the US ever allows BYD to sell here it’s going to be as a rebadged Chevy or Ford. Like in the 80s with econo cars and mini trucks.
But I suspect that won’t happen until all the boomer money finally runs out and car sales fully stop.
new EVs are definitely overpriced, but secondhand ones, for the brave, are an excellent option. Ask me how I know 😁
Yeah I’ve never bought a new car, and the way EV batteries are holding up, a used one is definitely in my future.
Too bad they haven’t figured out the issue with the Ionics yet. That’s the one that I’d like I think.
