Cheap EVs Are Popping Off. Just Not In America.
Briefly

Volkswagen recently showcased the ID.Every1, a $21,500 electric hatchback designed primarily for the European market, featuring a modern interior and a range of at least 150 miles per charge. Despite its attractive price and design, it is not intended for the U.S., highlighting a significant gap in affordable electric vehicle options in America. Competing models like the Kia Concept EV2 and others, primarily available in Europe and China, raise concerns among U.S. consumers about the limited choices and accessibility of budget-friendly EVs, which is essential for wider adoption of electric vehicles.
Volkswagen has unveiled the ID.Every1, an affordable $21,500 electric car concept, designed for Europe, highlighting the gap in the U.S. market for budget EVs.
America still lacks genuinely affordable electric vehicles, and the introduction of more options could increase adoption. The problem is these models are primarily offered overseas.
Examples like the Kia Concept EV2 and Fiat's Grande Panda show Europe’s affordable EV offerings; however, these models rarely make it to the U.S. market due to various obstacles.
The availability of budget EVs is hindered by tariffs and geopolitical conflicts, leaving American consumers missing out on vehicles like the BYD Seagull, priced under $10,000.
