With best-in-class efficiency of 4.0 miles/kWh, you’d need a 55kwH battery (50 usable) to have 200 miles of range. Right now, that’s $140/kWh, which is about $7k for the battery alone. If they can get that to $5k in 2 years, then I see $22k EV as a possibility. It probably wouldnt be that profitable, though.
