I'm really eager to see how Tesla's fabled $25K EV fares. The rumors bill it as a hatchback-like car that would be more for commuting than long trips, but at that price it almost wouldn't matter — you'd still come out on top if you had to rent an ICE car or PHEV for a couple of weeks each year.
Also, people don't always touch on how EVs are typically more reliable than ICE cars, which could be particularly important in the $25K segment. Not having to drop a couple grand (maybe more) every year just to keep your car working is a big deal, even if there's probably a battery replacement coming after several years. I'd add that battery replacements should get cheaper as the technology improves.
