Yes, flat out dismissal. I appreciate your effort but you are off.
Manufacturers could easily build an economical EV for $14K. But they would sell it for $31,125...AKA...iMiev. It's the same way the $9550 Versa costs maybe $3000 in parts for Nissan to build.
You have to remember that the cost of parts added together doesn't determine the price of the car. Stuff like R&D, federal certification, EPA testing, lawsuits, recalls, etc. add a huge hit to the price. Just ask anyone who has worked as an engineer for a car manufacturer.
Go search evalbum.com for EVs in the $14K range. You will find cars that don't even come close to the goals you have in mind.
