"The automotive industry has entered a fiercely competitive phase in the
electric vehicle transition, and it’s producing an intriguing result for US car
buyers: the first long-range EVs that are cheaper to buy than the average
gas-powered car.
At least three manufacturers — Tesla, Hyundai-Kia and General Motors — now
offer EVs with more than 300 miles (480 kilometers) of range for less than the
cost of the average new vehicle sold in the US, according to an analysis by
Bloomberg Green. The most affordable is Hyundai’s 2024 Ioniq 6, which comes
with 361 miles of range and a price tag that's 25% below the national average
of roughly $47,000.
Over the past six months, competition between US auto brands has taken on a
Squid Game vibe, as pressure rises to make EVs affordable and attract a new
wave of buyers. Customers have become more savvy about battery range, charging
speeds and charger accessibility, and are rejecting vehicles that don’t justify
the sticker price — something automakers have started to acknowledge."
