Tons of them. Most of the EVs are sold in China, and most of them are obviously not the top end models. Unfortunately they may not necessarily be available in countries outside of China. Manufacturers like to export their top of the line models first in order to create a good impression of their brand. Also because the profit margins are higher on those models. But this might also depend on if you are in a richer vs a poorer country. Companies may not export the expensive models to countries where they know they won't sell.

So while in China you have all the possible options available from the very cheapest to the most expensive, in western Europe you may only have the most expensive ones, whereas in many global south countries you may only find the budget models.
