    You’re just hunkering down inside your bubble, while offering nothing to the conversation.

    There’s a BYD stand close to where I work, I was looking at a “Dolphin” that has around 500 miles of range and costs 30k€.

    That’s still twice as what’s in the meme, but they keep getting closer.

    If you have some sort of grudge against China automakers, Dacia has its Spring. It costs about what’s in the meme, but with half the range though.

    It’s not hard to see a future where 350 miles for 15k is a reality, but the market needs competition.

      There might be such a future, but I don’t think it will be too soon, unfortunately.

      However, your example of the BYD Dolphin has 427km of WLTP range. According to ev-database it has 350km of real world range, about what the meme was stating in miles: https://ev-database.org/car/1919/BYD-DOLPHIN-604-kWh

      Or could you point me to a source that says it has 500 miles of range?
