The $30k "Oregon" price includes all subsidies.

Somewhere around $25k for a new EV is where I begin to pay attention.

Unfortunately a couple year old used EV goes for about as much as a new one with subsidies. You've got to buy a 4 year old EV to really put some distance between new/used prices.

New Bolt EVs are reported to be selling for as little as $26k. The federal tax credit expired for GM brands.
