The Hyundai Ioniq seems relatively affordable.
It comes as a hybrid, PHEV and full EV.

The 2019 Hyundai Ioniq hybrid starts at $22,400, which makes it one of the least-expensive alternative-fuel compact cars. Higher trim levels of the hybrid model start at $24,950 and $28,550, respectively. The 2019 Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid retails for $25,350, and the Ioniq Electric starts at $29,815.

So the EV is 7.4 grand more expensive than the hybrid. It should make up for that in lower cost per mile. It may be more affordable than the hybrid, despite the higher initial cost.
Sales reflects this; the EV version outsells the other versions in our country, at least. Even though the hybrid came to market first, the EV is more abundant on the road.
And this far I only spotted one PHEV version in the wild.
