Check out the new Kia e-Niro EV.In a very similar vein to the Hyundai Kona.
Looks like it will be around 33k pounds in the UK so $55k plus in Australia I guess. Still pricey but it has a range of 480km. Now we are seeing a group of cars that have decent range and while not cheap, are much cheaper than Tesla's and the like. Like most other new things, the prices are falling as they become more common.
