All new cars must be electric by 2035.
Cheapest  ATM is Chinese BYD at £25k

I reckon, if the government , or someone, payed me, id be able to produce an electric car, 70mph, range 200 miles, 4 seat, for £9000.
Would be ugly, but would get from A to B.

I dont even think it would be difficult.

Well maybe if someone "payed" you several hundred million to cover R&D & production facilities and subsidised the batteries you could sell a few, but even then it would be difficult. Production is hard.

Thanks,
In 2017, in UK, you could buy a brand new Dacia Sandero for £5000.
It is , and was, a perfectly good, reliable , comfortable car.

It was more than that and how is the price from 6 years ago relevant?

It was ~£5000 in around 2015-2017.
It shows it can be done...not that long ago.
The car was unfairly trashed on Top Gear so didnt sell well.
