The Aptera is supposed to be ~$31k and ~$400 mi. but that's going to extreme levels of efficiency to get there. Any legacy brand could probably do it for $25k but it wouldn't be profitable enough.
However I've mostly lost faith in them.
It's never going to happen in a "normal" car like a hatchback. At least not until battery prices are driven into the ground.
Keep in mind the more batteries you add, the less efficient it becomes, and the more batteries it needs.
