30k is significantly less than avg priced internal combustion engine cars.
If you enumerate the ICE cars for sale, the mean and median is much higher than 30k, yes.
If you enumerate the cars purchased in a given year (and ESPECIALLY if you include used cars), the median price paid for a car may be well under 30k.
$30k is a lot of money for sure. But it does not get you much car these days, new or used.
The mean price of a car, like the mean price of a house, is much less meaningful than the median.
