The above commenter was saying we needed a "Costco Car" that was actually an EV to increase EV sales. Despite it's EV sounding name the Chevy Spark to date has never been an EV.

Chevy's Bolt, their current closest to an entry model EV, still starts at $36,500.

Yes it has: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Spark_EV

It starts at $31,000.

According to your link that was a limited production run from 2013 to 2016 and $31,000 is a far cry from the Chery QQ's $5000 price tag.

You may be technically correct about the previous poster's claims, but that says nothing to the fact that we simply don't have a low cost, low expectation electric vehicle in the USA.
