'CHINA: Invasion of low drag cars.....................'
 

Prices still don’t look affordable either

What a drag.

' prices '
 

I think BYD is selling a brand new, entry level BEV for $22,000.
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.

' entry-level BEV'
 

Also, Citroen is selling a $ 7,000 entry level BEV city car. It's small, slow, and low range, but that's 'perfect' for urban driving, and where there actually exist working mass transit.
