Thank you for the correction and clarification. I didn’t dig into country specific pricing before posting.

While still higher, I believe these are all very reasonable prices — perhaps just not as mind blowing. I’m optimistic for the future.

Sure, as reasonable as offers from Western manufacturers. You can get plenty of EVs for 30k USD.

Not in Australia you don't. Outside of Chinese EVs, you won't find an EV here for under AUD$55K (last time I looked, which was about 6 months ago).

Yes. Dacia Sprint. Plenty of it.

Dacia costs ~14k USD here (Switzerland).
Are they comparable to BYD Dolphin?
The western ones are much better, e.g. VW ID3.
Right now they have stronger service networks and better parts availability.
