That looks pretty nice for $30,000. But it’ll probably be $40,000+ when it arrives. It’ll still sell because of Toyota’s reputation for quality, but not in huge quantities like a $30,000 car would sell.

Toyota is selling a $15,000 EV in China.

It’s not really a “Toyota” as we know them here in the USA, it is “GAC Toyota”, a joint venture in China. It is selling pretty well because it is very cheap. But it is essentially a Chinese EV, which are all much less expensive than any EV sold in the USA today.

If Chinese EVs eventually are sold in the USA, they will put most other EV makers out of business in short order. In general, if Chinese cars of any type are sold in the USA, they will put most other carmakers out of business. Their prices are low, and their quality is high, which means their value to a typical consumer is high.
