"I like the definition of "cheap"
I just had a quick look at the list of cars available in 2020 in the UK. only a couple were as low as£25,000 most of them were substantially more expensive."

Cars are not cheap. There is a Corsa on display at the Costco near hear (old fashioned ICE engine version). £20K price on it. Corsa can be considered an entry-level car. The E-Corsa is £26K so the gap is narrowing. Then if you remember that most cars are "owned" on PCP or PCH deals, the buyers are not spending £20-£30K anyway.
