It says this SUV will cost $78000.

Fuck these stupid things. Make some affordable cars.

This is the high end of the EX line. The EX30 is $35k USD / 265mi range. Although I worry that the new import tax laws in the states might make a $35k EV volvo impossible. Taxes on Chinese EV manufacturers is going from 27 to 100%

Yeah, all I want is a subcompact SUV EV under 30k. Something like the Hyundai Kona in size.

The Kona EV looks to be about $35,000 base price, and are offering $7,500 in rebates (through Hyundai, not IRA).

I've just been shopping around - I don't know any of this for sure.

@scytale @RaoulDook the BYD Dolphin seems pretty cheap.

@scytale @RaoulDook The BYD Atto is enormously popular in Australia, but I hear the US has put tariffs on cars from China.
