I bought a $37,000 (AUD) EV and its fantastic.
This isnt an outlier, a LOT of BEV's and Hybrids are sub $60k here in australia.

Costs me between $0-34 to charge per week.
$0 if i charge on weekends with solar, $34 if i charge only during peak hours, or somewhere in between if i charge off-peak (during rhe night or middle of the day).

The tax rebates were for loans, not purchases. And they are being rolled back because they were to incentivise EV uptake, which is no longer neccessary.
