TL;DR: AUD 19,900 driveway (means taxes, registration etc included), or about US$14k. The main limitation is the 220 km (135 mi) range, which is fine for a city runabout but not great for road tripping.

I'd love a city run around car inclusive of all taxes for $15k or less.

It’s pretty tiny too, so not a road trip car IMHO.
That said, coupled with home solar to power it, this is a very cheap way to get on the road and I will likely go this direction in future - one of these for the city and something a bit bigger/more rugged to go bush once in a while.

That's an insane price and the range is fine for the daily needs of the large majority of people.
€12k in France (where i am) can't get you any new car, even the cheapest ICE Dacia is more expensive than that now.
