My bad, my tiny brain assumes the net revolves around the U.S.

Mainly this story is heartbreaking because the U.S. is so anti EV, that our cheapest all electrics usually start around 40k. Then, the manufacturers wonder why they can't sell them as fast as ICE or hybrid vehicles.

  • That’s the price in Korea for a 177 mi range model.
  • A similar model is available in Europe with a little more range and a higher price.
  • Not expected to ship at all in North America.
