Look into the used market. Lots of nice EVs for cheap because people think EV batteries degrade at the same rate as cell phone batteries. They don't. I got a 3 year old EV for under 25k.

This! I've had my EV for 6 years and my battery has degraded ~8% according to diagnostics. It's still enough to get me ~275 miles at highway speeds before I need to charge. I take it on a couple long-distance road trips every year and have never had an issue with range.
