Volvo is bringing a 36k one to market this summer. While that's still very expensive it's less expensive than the average of 50k (45k with rebates) you see from domestic manufacturers.
If they manage to dodge the inevitable court case for selling at a loss and make it stick we should see more stuff like the Chevy Bolt.
There's a cheat code out there right now: Toyota bz4x. At full price, they're not a very good option. There's plenty with better range and charge time. They also fucked up some of the features, like one pedal driving.
However, first year depreciation is hitting them hard, and then they look much better. So much off that the downsides can be overlooked.
