This sounds nice for someone who needs a truck. But I have lots of kids. Why can’t I get an EV minivan for under $50k?
Politics. It can be done

The Chinese government is subsidizing the cost of their EVs. They are smart enough to realize that's the future and want people hooked on them as the supplier. So, yeah it can be done cheaply if you own the entire supply chain and receive government subsidies.
I want a people's van.
Really tho you'd think that vw would be making an easy to maintain ev version of their Volkswagen van instead of targeting 60k+
Perhaps some sort of people's station wagon.
Or just a people's wagon.
Or why be so formal, why "people," instead of the more casual and fun "folks."
The folk's wagon, if you will.
You mean the id.buzz?
