That's 'Corolla' pricing, placing BEVs at price parity with ICE. Right now!
I couldn't find the $22,000 one, but there is the BYD Seagull (also called BYD Dolphin Mini in some parts of the world) that starts at just below 100,000 Yuan (about $14,000 USD). It's biggest battery is not even 40kWh. I'd suspect it would have an EPA rating of just above 100 miles with a new battery.

The BYD Dolphin may be the car you're referring to. It can come with up to a 60kWH batter IIRC and costs around $20,000 in USD, altough I find conflicting things about it's pricing. It's $31,000 for a base model in Brazil.
