That’s fair, but also moot while there are non electric cars available for less than 30k. Hopefully in time they can get the cost down.
Most of the cost of an EV comes from the battery, which those other cars don't have.
While it's possible to make cars with smaller batteries, several decades of history have shown us consumers won't buy them. At least not in the US.
