Perhaps those who are still interested in an EV are simply opting for the cheapest option available?

IMHO Hyundai does a good job of capturing that market. The Kia EV6 is probably the best EV from a cost/benefit perspective (good range and fast charging for an EV, but low cost). Their Hyundai Ioniq 5 being a crossover style version (same tech but not quite the same range because of drag from the taller shape).

EV's don't work for everyone. I wouldn't have gotten one if I wasn't married and needed two cars anyway (having one EV and one ICE gives us the best of both worlds), we drive plenty of miles so that the gas savings is worth the extra cost of an EV, we can charge at home, and we had to replace one of our cars anyway so we were in the market for a car, and virtually all of the road trips we take have plenty of fast chargers (we'll drive the ICE if we go on one of the other road trips). But if someone is in a driving situation like ours, IMHO the Kia and Hyundai EV's are good value at reasonable prices. Most of the times we read about horrible maintenance expenses with EV's it has to do with Tesla.

There was a story in the news yesterday about the ‘actual’ cost of running an EV was the equivalent of paying $17 dollars a gallon for gas.
