I was curious so I looked it up. The 2024 Corolla starts at $21,900 in the US. The cheapest '24 I could find was the Nissan Versa at $16,390.
Of course, neither of these are electric. But they are also well known makes in the American market.

If I have to replace a BYD every 3 years at $15k, a Corolla that lasts 15+ is going to come out ahead.
