This price reduction is expected to lead automakers to offer more affordable EV models, potentially reaching price points around $20,000 to $25,000, especially by revisiting strategies like those used in 2016 with the Renault ZOE, which combined affordability with a practical range. The article also notes that while EV range has been incrementally improving—from around 200 miles to over 300 miles in many models—this gradual increase has somewhat masked the broader revolution underway.
