There actually are super cheap evs at the no frills used car market price, they’re just illegal to import in the us due to protectionist policies.
Comment on I'm looking for a no frills, physical key EV. Am I looking for something that no longer exists?

The profit margins on cheap cars isn’t high enough yet to introduce EVs at that price.
Closest you can probably get is the Corolla hybrid base model. It’s not full EV and sadly isn’t even a plugin hybrid.

What do you mean? Dacia Spring exists and it starts at £15k. That’s pretty much a budget petrol car price.

What price? OP does not talk about cost at any point, they only require specific features.

“No frills”
Right now EVs come with frills. The leaf, bolt, and that Mitsubishi golf cart were the no-frills EVs.
