You can get a new Model 3 base model for $36k. A Hyundai Ioniq 5 MSRP is $35k. A Chevy Bolt is $30k.
A non-EV Toyota Camry is $30k (hybrid and ICE).
We are almost there. For buyers on a budget, the used car market is liquid for EVs as of now.
Yeah I'm talking more like half that. $15K for a basic, no-frills hatchback type EV.
I personally buy used, and pay about a quarter of that or less when I buy a car.
I buy used as well (>10 years old)
If you can hoof it all the way to Fairfield (2.5 hours from Y Combinator HQ in SF; Muni->BART->Amtrak->taxi), you can get a 7 year old Model 3 for $14k tomorrow.

That used battery is definitely a concern.
